Me

By Elton John


Comprehensive and honest look at one man's rise to the top, decent into addiction, and return to a healthy and fulfilling life. Elton's self-deprecating and humorous descriptions of family, fame, fortunes and philanthropy go right up to 2018 with his final on-the-road tour and brush with cancer. Anyone who grew up with his music or came from a family with difficult parents will relate to the remembrances, reminiscences, and cautionary tales.

Harriet Tubman: The Road to Freedom

By Catherine Clinton




Excellent readable biography of Harriet Tubman.

~Jeanne C.







Becoming

Michelle Obama




A-MAZE-ING!!!! Such a great biography about growing up with struggles and overcoming them and working hard to get where she wanted to be and what she wanted to be! Glad I chose the audio version because I feel it wouldn’t have had the same impact on me if it was me reading it because her soul and passion was put into reading it and after all is it her story!
