Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Brittney Cooper's performance is nothing short of stellar in When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost. Her nuanced delivery captures the full spectrum of emotions Morgan’s text evokes – from moments of profound reflection to sharp political critique. The pacing is just right, ensuring each story element is absorbed fully without feeling rushed. While Morgan's writing is unflinching and honest, Cooper's narration occasionally struggles with some of the more technical sections, which can make them slightly less accessible. Despite this minor issue, the overall impact remains powerful, making this audiobook a must-listen for anyone interested in the ongoing narrative of Black women’s experiences.
