  Rea was inspired to write “Tell Me There’s a Heaven” after his daughter Josie saw footage of a riot in South Africa on the news, which showed “this horrible thing of throwing lighted tyres over people” (necklacing) and “one guy… Read More ›

• Kobo mini (13 years later…)

  By Shaun on December 22, 2025 • ( 1 )
