Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Cary Hite and Sisi Aisha Johnson’s performances are nothing short of stellar in Freewater. Hite captures the raw determination of Homer with an intensity that will keep listeners on edge, while Johnson brings Ada's innocence to life with a voice both sweet and resilient. The pacing is spot-on, balancing intense moments of danger with quieter, reflective scenes that reveal the depth of the characters' relationships. However, the story occasionally veers into melodrama, which may feel overwrought for some listeners. Despite this minor flaw, Freewater remains a powerful and moving listen that vividly brings to life the harrowing and hopeful aspects of historical freedom struggles.
