Summary
Rosaria, by the standards of many, was living a very good life. She had a tenured position at a large university in a field for which she cared deeply. She owned two homes with her partner, in which they provided hospitality to students and activists that were looking to make a difference in the world. In the community, Rosaria was involved in volunteer work. At the university, she was a respected advisor of students and her department's curriculum.
The material is solid, but the way it's presented comes across as overly preachy. The author/narrator goes to great lengths to inject emotion into her voice, which can be a bit overwhelming. It bothered me so much that I ended up increasing the reading speed to 1.25 or even 1.5 times. The first two hours, which focus on her conversion story, are quite engaging and interesting. However, the remaining four hours are filled with preachiness that becomes hard to handle. I wasn't expecting a deep dive into marriage or an analysis of worship, nor was I looking for a promotion of her specific church denomination.
