Hard to follow sometimes when she’s talking to Marge without what Marge says at least for me it was hard

Sad that some of this is still timely.
Would really like to hear some actors read these monologues.
I appreciated it more when I read a few and put the book down for the day.
Still prefer Letter to My Daughter by Maya Angelou, but the tone and style of the two are opposites.
