IT. GOES. SO. FAST. The Year of No Do-Overs

Mary Louise Kelly, anchor of NPR's nightly news program, "All Things Considered," delivers a captivating narration of her book about the challenging life of a working parent. Accustomed to crafting fact-filled, punchy radio stories, she writes tight vignettes full of eye-catching detail. Her warm, empathetic voice; personable delivery; and experienced pacing engage listeners with her examination of life on the front lines of news and parenting. While most parents haven't received an emergency call from their son's school while reporting from Iraq, everyone knows what it's like to feel pulled in many directions while trying to do everything well. Filled with anecdotes and reflections on life's necessary accommodations and trade-offs, Kelly's audiobook is like a conversation with a friend who's both kind and honest. A.C.S.
