I don't know what I was expecting. This wasn't really it. Memoirs + History = ??? The audiobook is read by the author, and I am so used to associating his voice with the news that it was difficult for me to get to the emotions of the book. At times I felt preached, mostly when I should have felt as if I was getting a tid bit of wonderful advice from my elders. Part of that is my current mindset (don't you tell me I can't do it all!) along with the delivery.

There were several stories, mostly about racial inequalities, which brought me to tears while driving. Which is why the book earned 4 stars vs. the 3 I initally gave it. It was only a 3 disc set, so a quick listen.
