I wanted to listen b/c Kate is such a good reader, but I got hung up on the pronunciation of "diaspora." No idea what the heck a di-a-spora is! Di-stract-ing.
I agree with Kate what a twist at the end! I listen to several podcasts as I walk to and from work everyday as well as walking around town daily. This is only the second story for me to stop in my tracks as I realized how far I had swallowed the hook! It was a two fold story of love that makes you remeber how precious love is! As usual I loved Kates reading! I look forward to every new podcast as is comes!
Just a note to let everyone know that the podcast and its mispronounced words have been fixed. Diaspora has given me pause in the past and despite looking it up, the brain still made the tongue move in different ways.
