Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

Karyn Parsons' narration is nothing short of brilliant; her tone conveys both joy and reverence as she tells the story of Garrett Morgan. The pacing is perfect—neither too fast nor slow, keeping listeners hooked until the very end. Parsons’ ability to modulate her voice for different characters adds depth to each segment, making even historical facts feel vividly real. However, some listeners might find the story a bit rushed at times, with less time spent on certain pivotal moments that could have been more impactful. Overall, 'Saving the Day' is a must-listen for anyone interested in African American history or the inspiring stories of unsung heroes.
