My rating: 3 Stars
My opinion: I have to admit that I would have liked to have seen this 150 page memoir longer. I felt that it had a magazine article feeling to it that due to the length lost its warmth for this important story. There are numerous organizations that were just touched on that were really important to the story that I would have loved to see further described.
