This book for me was truly exciting to read just knowing that the story is based on some real events in history. It is very amazing just what a person can do when called upon in the face of adversity. It is also inspiring to know that if one needs to rise up to the challenge in front of them, they can, even if one is young and inexperienced as Mary was. I enjoyed this book for what it was and realized there are many untold stories out there that will never be told, at least this one is not among them any more.
