Love her writing, she has a great sense of detail for suspense, but unlike some of her other books, this one has an amazing twist that I never saw coming! Those are the best books of all! Bravo, Frieda! Bravo!

Think National Treasure but it’s real. It is thr riveting true story of first Declaration of Independence. But it is also a lot more. Conflict, Conspiracy, Chaos and the great mystery of Americas founding all wrapped in one epic tale that the reader will not soon forget. Thomas Jefferson was a hypocritical plagiarist and the Meck Deckers were America’s true patriotic authors of our first Declaration of Independence. Long live May 20,1775 and long live the Meck Deck 😎

Exquisitely written in beautiful prose, this memoir captures the hearts of all who read/ listen.
I found myself mourning her late husband, Sam with every passage while simultaneously cheering on Charlotte and her 4 kids (and Tim).
This book is written in such a heartbreaking and heartfelt manner that I found myself crying and laughing all within a 10 minute period.
The courage it took to process these feelings and put them into words, is unimaginable. However, Charlotte Maya , a widow, a mother, a wife, and a beautifully articulate and poetic writer, did so with grace, and a full heart.

I applaud her and admire her.
I am so grateful for her work.
This memoir is a masterpiece

Fabulous Story! Horrible Narrator!

I was captivated within the first few pages and held hostage till the end by this brilliantly crafted narrative. The characters were rich and relatable, the story had a consistent and exciting pace that brought us to a frenzied crescendo with a beautifully twisted ending giving the reader and immense sense of satisfaction. Brava, Michele! Brava!
The narrator, did a good job of sharing her energy with her listeners. However, she focused on “acting” instead of narrating which ultimately negatively impacted my overall enjoyment of the story. Ultimately, what I disliked the most, was the narrator’s lack of effort and/or ability to pronounce any of the Spanish. As a Spanish speaker, it was a huge turn off to me.
Onward and upward! I can’t wait to read another one of Michele’s juicy tales. Kudos!

The book itself was not bad. Good storyline with a nice twist. A little predictable, but nicely done overall. The narrator in the first part of the book, however, was so terribly atrocious that I had to buy the paperback and give up the audible. Read it for a guilty pleasure, but do not listen to this book, you will hate it.

I had a hard time gettingthrough the first few chapters, but once we got into the meat of the story, I couldn’t stop! Beautiful, poignant, intricate and moving. Yes, I cried.
