My Review: I really enjoyed this book. There were moments that were a tad slow but soon caught up and made you want to read more. In some ways I could compare to her, the way she felt at times, I noticed that I, myself have felt something similar. Maybe you can relate too. All I know is in the end, I was so glad to have read this book. It was truly inspiring.

“Alone wasn’t a room anymore, but the whole wide world, and now I was alone in that world, occupying it in a way I never had before.” Page 119
