This was an amazing read! Everyone should take the opportunity to read this book. The life story and the growth you get to read about with each chapter is as if you were growing with the author. Feeling all the emotions and pains imagining the uncertainty of what’s to come next was impossible to put down.

The details and recounted stories did not seem real for modern times. Initially I checked the authors age and was surprised she grew up in same era and not so far away. Well written, edited, etc.
