Misunderstood

An Anthology for Those Hiding Behind a Mask of Hope

By: Essel Pratt

Narrated by: Krystee Wylder

Being a misunderstood youth in today's society can mean many things to many people. For a parent, it can be a confusing time. We often attribute misunderstandings to their use of technology in lieu of the imagination that we expressed at their ages. For our children, it can be a frustrating experience. They desire relief form the pains they endure each and every day, whether emotionally, physically, or in secret, yet they fear the stigma of a drug-induced cure.

This audiobook is about the frustrations, fears, facades, and frailties that our youth is faced with each and every day. It is an attempt to express the power of hope and desire for relief. The contributors within have agreed to share their bravery in the form of words, revealing the reality behind the mask that our youths wear each and every day.

Poetry and stories

A great collection of stories and poems. Many of them had straightforward messages while a few made me think.

In my opinion, I think the bio about the authors could have been done after each story or poem.

For narration, some of the readings could have used a slower pace, but otherwise it was good.
