Loved it!

Sandra makes me long to be Mexican. Her stories tell about hardship and longing that I also have in my life. The difference is that, in her culture this is as beautiful, if not more than abundance and love.

The title story is worth it.

The title story, "Woman Hollering Creek," is one of the best American short stories ever.

Amazing book!!

This book bring so much heritage and culture to the table. This book becomes part of the family as if I'm sitting at the kitchen table listening to my Tia's gossip ;)

Two Stories in One!

Well, a bundle of poems and a bundle of short stories, but you'd had to buy them separately if you buy physical, probably. :P Great listen!

Difficult

Difficult stories. If you are looking for a story with a normal plot, this book is not for you.

extremely boring book.

The author's voice made me want to tear my ears out and set myself on fire. Worst book ever.

I couldn't read this book.

The reading of the book was so bad that I couldn't listen to it. Overly dramatic and relentlessly intense, the narration was unbearable. I'm sorry I couldn't read this book because the content may have been interesting, but it might be better as a written book form rather than audio.
