IT'S NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

Canadian disability activist and YouTube sensation Molly Burke delivers an upbeat narration that draws listeners into her memoir. Burke's style is so warmly infectious that listeners will feel like they're chatting with a friend. At age 14, Burke lost most of her eyesight to an aggressive form of retinitis pigmentosa. Yet her drive and determination led her to become an ambassador for several high-profile brands and, eventually, to start a motivational speaking business. Her candid portrayal of the dark moments of her life, including a period of depression and suicidal ideation, demonstrates her willingness to mine her experiences to help others. This memoir, written and performed by the 25-year-old Burke, will inspire listeners young and old. M.J. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2025]
