Tabitha Brown’s rural North Carolina accent will be a challenge for listeners not familiar with the dialect. But 10 or 20 minutes into this production something else becomes more prominent—the heartfelt and hard-won perspectives of a wise person. The popular foodie and Instagram/TikTok star narrates with unassailable sincerity, and as the goodness of her heart takes center stage, listeners will find much value in learning how she approaches her life. This is also a recovery story; she once had a variety of physical challenges but overcame them with a vegan diet, and she describes recipes that she also details in a pdf. But it’s her storytelling and message that make this audio shine. She uses her personal experiences to show how God, family, friends, and good food can sustain our resilience in the face of life’s challenges. T.W. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine
