MILK BLOOD HEAT Stories

Machelle Williams is a steady narrator who provides a solid performance of this diverse short story collection.

With a melodic intonation Williams presents the deepest dilemmas of mothers, daughters, and other women. From miscarriage to a parent's death, Williams helps listeners make sense of the big issues at play. She maintains a steady pace as we navigate the thoughts of many generations in the same family.
