Michelle Williams absolutely slayed on this narration; after hearing Britney Spears' herself for the short prologue, I was so stunned (in the best way) to find Williams narration to be so similar without ever feeling farcical. Just the right amount of twang and vocal fry.

As for the material, the overwhelming takeaway is listening to a woman who desperately wanted to parent her children, who desperately wanted to make a family, to share her art, and who was squashed into a tiny box and repeatedly told she wasn't "okay," wasn't "safe," wasn't "healthy" or "enough."

I'm glad she found her voice again, I'm glad she is free from the conservatorship that I still cannot believe went on for thirteen years. I'm glad I got to listen to this story, and I hope she continues to find herself, and peace.

I purchased an eAudio from Audible with my own money; will be reviewing professionally for Library Journal.
