Editor's Review ★★★★★

AudioBook Atlas

The narration by Sarah L. Sanderson and Chanté Griffin is nothing short of exceptional. Their voices blend seamlessly to create a seamless narrative that transports you from the dusty Oregon trails of 1851 to the modern-day reflections of a woman grappling with her family's past. The pacing is deliberate, giving ample time for reflection on each pivotal moment. However, at times, the transition between historical facts and personal anecdotes feels slightly abrupt, potentially disrupting the flow. Despite this minor critique, 'The Place We Make' remains an essential listen, pushing listeners to confront uncomfortable truths and fostering a deeper understanding of our collective history.
