Smart, reflective, and poetic

This audiobook truly blew me away - I found myself listening to the entire book in one day, which is something I never do. I just sat at my sewing machine and let Anne Boyer’s beautiful words pull me in, and the narrators voice is a perfect fit for the book. Can’t recommend this audiobook highly enough!
