What an intense book. I actually shied away from it in parts because it was so painful. It reminded me of Beaded Hope, another wonderful story, but this one was more raw. More in your face. More painful. I would be surprised to come across someone who reads this book and doesn't feel compelled to help our fellow man.

The only reason I didn't give it five stars was the ending. I thought it was a little over the top and just beyond my suspension of disbelief. I wish I could discuss it further but it's a huge spoiler.

What can I do to help? That's what I thought when I closed this book. Maybe I can't help children in Africa but there has to be someone or a group locally who I can get involved with and help.
