Machelle Williams skillfully narrates this sprawling story of generational secrets in antebellum Louisiana. Williams weaves a hypnotic spell, pulling the listener along to meet the huge cast of characters and hear their tangled stories. Williams makes clear the intricate language switching common to Creole Louisiana among both enslavers and the enslaved”

Machelle Williams is a steady narrator who provides a solid performance of this diverse short story collection. With a melodic intonation Williams presents the deepest dilemmas of mothers, daughters, and other women. She maintains a steady pace as we navigate the thoughts of many generations in the same family. Listeners who are looking for a brief, engaging title will find one here.”

Machelle Williams did a fantastic job narrating my new book Pajama Paydays, How To Make The Internet Work For You. She was able to bring a very technical subject to life with her warm and friendly voice and clear pronunciation. Her voice is a joy to listen to. I highly recommend Machelle for audio books and other audio projects and look forward to working with her again in the near future.”

I listened to this book from beginning to end! Couldn’t stop. The narrator did an amazing job. She gave the book life. Then when she sang at the end that was the icing on the cake. She did excellent!”
