Vulnerable Life Story!

This audiobook centers around a young African American woman named Dominique who is forced to mature and experience a variety of situations that result from bad decisions and abusive relationships. Choices that are made, force Dominique to face severe consequences including possible jail time, losing her children, her home, and herself. This focuses on one woman’s struggle to be self-sufficient, a mother, and a woman of faith.

The author, Lorinda Hawkins Smith writes from the heart revealing emotions, fears, and dreams of what Dominique’s life should be but isn’t. Smith’s writing style keeps the story moving forward in a steady way making the story easy to follow and feel the emotions she wishes her audience to feel.

Smith is also the narrator.  She speaks clearly and with enthusiasm and an appropriate tone for each character and situation.  Her performance is interesting and consistent. I enjoyed her performance.

Smith’s story is haunting, remaining with the listener long after the end of the story. 

I did encounter partway through the book several times where the same sentences were repeated.  This was a bit of a distraction and interfered with my listening.  Other than this issue, the production and quality of the audiobook were fine.
