Emotional and Potent!
This book was exceptionally written, giving you an instant connection to the character. Which, realizing from the beginning that this is based upon a REAL person's life, the ending is extremely difficult and emotional. I knew going into the book, how it was going to end; however, I still wasn't prepared for it- so have some kleenex handy before you reach the end. This book definitely sticks ...

That said, this approach takes a great deal of courage. It is not for the faint of heart. For those willing to risk being truly open, however, the ...
