Nightmares of past pains!

Listen Mama is a dramatically heartbreaking and movingly beautiful coming-of-age memoir written with care and love by M.S.P. Williams about how as a teenager he struggled to cope with an unfair life and, at the same time, to accept the mental illness issues of his mother.

We meet Manny in the early 90s when he begins his journey through the turbulent waters of his existence as a teenager and we are witnesses to his ordeals and tribulations until the bittersweet but satisfying conclusion of his story, in the late 2000s. This is definitely a painfully honest recollection of someone who endured more than anyone should…

For Listen Mama, theater professor, aspiring stage director, and Audie award-winning narrator JD Jackson delivers a superb and exquisite performance filled with emotion and intensity! He takes the time with the narration, brings each character to life with extra attention, and elevates the level of immersion for the listener throughout the eight hours of the audio production.

 JD Jackson is one of the best artists in the audiobook industry and thanks to his significant skills this haunting but at the same time uplifting journey of human resilience is made even better.

Listen Mama is a finalist for the 2022 Audie Awards for Best Audiobook Memoir and after listening to it I can say that it definitely deserves a chance at this prestigious award. Both the author and the narrator have done their absolute best when it comes to this production and this is all that we as audiobook listeners can ask for.

I’m really glad that I got the opportunity to discover Manny’s story and I know that I will never forget it. For me, this was a narrative experience filled with tears, sad smiles, and heartfelt emotions.
