Some amazing sounds result from this collaboration with Bera on vocals, her sister Beth on keyboard and her dad Julian singing bass. There's just something real sweet about families harmonizing. I Have a Choice! has great depth, harmonic richness and a deep cohesiveness to the music. It wouldn't surprise me if this CD garners a Grammy® nomination in the Inspirational category.

Reviewer: Katie Martinez This CD contains a mix of song styles - as diverse as the artist herself. Anyone lucky enough to own this CD will listen, and listen again. Bera sings about freedom, heartbreak, strength and love, and is surrounded by talented, and well-chosen back-up artists. Each of the recorded tracks contribute their own unique quality to the CD, but my particular favorites are God Chose an Angel for You, It's so Nice, and God in My Life. This CD goes everywhere with me in my car. Sometimes I just need to hear the voice of an angel.
