I truly enjoyed listening to this book, the narrator was a perfect match. I nearly fried several times and laughed out loud countless more.

Whistling Past The Graveyard is a tender coming-of-age story about a Starla, a nine-year-old girl, who runs away from her strict grandmother’s Mississippi home in 1963, befriends a lonely woman suffering loss and abuse, and embarks on a life-changing road trip. Starla’s destination is Nashville, where her mother went to become a famous singer, abandoning Starla when she was three. Walking a lonely country road, Starla accepts a ride from Eula, a black woman traveling alone with a white baby — a road trip that will change her life forever.
