Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 📱 Kindle
Stories for My Kids

63/100
👎 Skip It
An 87-year-old first-time author writing her life story after losing her husband of 73 years is genuinely moving, and podcast coverage praised her humor and wisdom. But it's self-published with very little outside critical validation, so I can only call it a heartfelt niche read, not a broadly vetted one.
