Kimberla Never Disappoints

Loved this story, especially the raw nature of Rick ☺️
Once again, a fabulous story that hits the heart. I'm sure she many can't relate.

Love it!

What made the experience of listening to It's a Thin Line the most enjoyable?

The way I could completely understand each character. I love when it takes a little while to figure them out what makes each character tick. But then I don't like to have to wait too long to figure it out. Once it was explained what was going on in the mind set of each of the main characters. I really felt like. I knew each one.

What was one of the most memorable moments of It's a Thin Line?

When the Mother found out about her Brain Tumor issue. I just lost my mother to pancreatic and lung caner. We found out what she had due to her getting a brain tumor. The recovery and the things her mother went thru, made me remember everything i went thru with my mom. It was like i re-lived the moment. It just shows that most things that you read. Come from True knowledge. In this instance. If you were to tell me, she made the whole way her mom's life played out. I wouldnt believe that she hadn't experienced or knew someone that experienced this.

Have you listened to any of Susan Spain’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I think that I have listend to other books that are narrated by her. She did very well. I would listen to her on other books again.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I WANTED to.. But I have trained myself to only listen during WORK hours. This way i am keeping my mind off the drama and issues in the every day Cubicle life.

Any additional comments?

I love and have read almost everything and now listen to That Kimberla Authors. BRAVO!

When the ladies know that they don’t need a man to take care of them!!🥰

I really enjoyed this story a lot of women experience, what those ladies went through to be my lasted by your father is hurtful, and to be beaten by your husband is a lot

This spoke to me on so many levels.

I had no dislikes. What I did like is the very thoughtful way life issues were discussed without tediousness. Included are the issues of domestic abuse, procrastination, self-love, childhood sexual abuse and repressed memories, caring for an aging/dying parent, sibling discord and sibling love, and raising loving and thoughtful children. It’s not a Pulitzer Prize winner, but I felt like I was listening to friends.
