This book was enjoyable. The way that Slocumb describes the impact of music and its importance on the characters, it‘s what kept me drawn in. It‘s was looks I could also feel the rhythms in the story. There were good twist to the story. I would have liked a little bit more discovery/ or a deeper dive behind the motives of some of the folks as to a why —or perhaps I would have liked to have it spelled out rather than insinuated.
A great read for me

The beautiful offerings and the lessons that are shared by the author go hand in hand as she shares exactly what we can learn from the marine mammals perspective is a cause for pause and apply. I could see myself throughout the book. I recommend this book because it challenges us to see the way that marine mammals are nudging us to join together and learn from and with it.

This book was everything and then some. It gave me the laughs and the big chuckles. It brought up many themes and social issues like the drug epidemic, men being able to openly express themselves, the validity of true connection and someone pouring into lives, the prison /judicial system and its‘ hyper focus on Black men. Lastly, it just left me with the fact that more than anything love and ease are all just what they wanted and needed

Heartbreaking and warming and informative! Deeply valuable

Amazing!

Insightful

Always a favorite!

Very helpful

Loved it!

Very good!

Informative

I enjoyed this book a lot and the many interesting themes that were present like “passing” not just in the racial/colorism context but in gender presentation too. There were layers upon layers to this book and I want a part two🤣

Loved!

One of my favorites!

I wanted to like this book a lot. It took a while to pick up.
