Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Bahni Turpin shines as she brings Deza Malone to life with an emotive and nuanced performance. Her voice captures the essence of Deza's character—her intelligence, her spirit, and her unwavering optimism in the face of adversity. The story unfolds beautifully, with each chapter painting a vivid picture of 1930s America through the eyes of a young girl who dreams big. However, some scenes feel slightly rushed, which might detract from the full emotional impact. Overall, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone looking to explore themes of family, perseverance, and growth.
