Lovely. Very lyrical, poetic, beautiful, and touching. The best part is that it's based on a true story. I read this in less than a day.

Resau never disappoints in terms of her writing and plot. This was no exception. I cried throughout the book ... it was just so poignant. I loved it. I'm also in awe of the main character. I feel, very humbled, when thinking about her life, what she did with it, the obstacles she faced and overcame ... just amazing.

Would recommend this to others. Would definitely read more by the author.
