“Listeners have the opportunity to
hear this fine compilation of interviews with extraordinary individuals
conducted by various NPR personalities through the years. Each interview is
given background in an introduction by the NPR interviewer who conducted it,
but the interviewees ultimately speak for themselves, sharing their unique and
absorbing stories. Those featured include renowned animal behaviorist Temple
Grandin, a Bosnian teenager living through the siege of Sarajevo, and the
gifted young pianist Emily Bear, among others. The inspiring, heartfelt, and
enlightening interviews bring the listener into the daily lives and experiences
of some fascinating individuals from diverse backgrounds. Winner of the
AudioFile Earphones Award.” —AudioFile
