"Narrator Joel Froomkin does a stellar job channeling Milk's many moods and tones.-- ""AudioFile"" ""A brilliant rumination on the revolutionary political journey of Harvey Milk."" -- ""Nation"" ""Faderman does a fantastic job at reanimating a story that reminds us that people can be truly tolerant--with the exception of the few--and that, with will (not money), anyone can effect change. Harvey Milk as seen through fresh, highly knowledgeable eyes."" -- ""Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"" ""Faderman's narrative mixes the personal and the political with great skill; subtly displaying how at a fundamental level, fighting for collective political rights is really just a human yearning for personal happiness, which usually has its roots in compassion."" -- "" Irish Sunday Independent"" ""Narrator Joel Froomkin does a stellar job channeling Milk's many moods and tones. From oratory to reflective self-examination, Froomkin captures Milk's capacity to overreach with some attempts at wit and to communicate sincere support of all marginalized people in his adopted city...The high quality of the writing and Froomkin's overall presentation offer revelatory listening."" -- ""AudioFile"""
