Enjoyable, Entertaining, wonderful use of language
author: NakishaThis was an enjoyable piece of work, funny and entertaining. I love the way Sharon used simple, yet colorful, charismatic words. It was as though an older family member were telling the story of those that paved the way for us. This was my first time listening to her work, and I will be on the lookout for more--to read or listen to.
