Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Ruben Gallego’s voice is both commanding and compassionate as he narrates his own story, creating an immediate connection with the listener. 'They Called Us “Lucky”' is more than just a political career tale; it's a deeply personal exploration of faith, family, and the unyielding spirit of the human will. The dual narration by Gallego and Stephen Graybill enhances the narrative, bringing a rich layer to this powerful account. However, at times, the rapid pace can feel overwhelming, leaving less room for reflection between intense storytelling moments. Despite this, 'They Called Us “Lucky”' remains an incredibly moving and essential listen for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of modern American politics through the lens of one man's extraordinary life.
