Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Karen Chilton’s performance in 'Leaving Breezy Street' is nothing short of brilliant. Her ability to convey the raw emotions and intense experiences of Myers-Powell’s life is unparalleled. The narration not only mirrors the author’s unflinching voice but also amplifies the story's impact. From the harrowing personal struggles to the powerful political awakenings, Chilton's delivery ensures every word resonates deeply. However, listeners should be prepared for the book's graphic content and unvarnished language, which might not suit all tastes. Despite this, the audiobook’s raw honesty and compelling storytelling make it an essential listen for anyone seeking a profound glimpse into activism and personal growth.
