Book description
Growing up in rural, southern Virginia, Hope Whitby planted marigolds in the garden with her mother, canoed the Nottoway River with her father, and waited for the bookmobile on the porch with her sisters Vicky and Kelly. Her debut poetry collection captures with great intimacy and warmth a girlhood immersed in the natural world, and a poet's coming of age. Traveling the River is a book about strong roots, new beginnings, and the timeless redemptive power of art and nature. "Give my words seed," Whitby writes, "and they will take root."

Super Flick
Audiobooks on this app have made me look forward to my long commutes. CarPlay compatibility takes my driving experience to a whole new level. Audiobooks on the road have never been better. Great for fans of this genre! The pacing, narration, and production quality were all excellent. It felt like a movie playing in my mind. Iβll be checking out more from this narrator for sure. An unobjectionable but unexceptional audiobook experience. The narrator's performance was serviceable and the audio quality was fine, but nothing about the production particularly stood out or elevated the material. It was decent background listening. Not the best audiobook I've heard but far from the worst. The production quality was good and there were no major issues with the narration.
