This was a book about horrific events that happened to a family but in my opinion the book was 39 pages too long. The last 17 pages of the original book were a sermon and totally turned me off. I understand and appreciate that the author's faith and the faith of her parents is what helped her cope with the things she endured but it was too over the top preachy for me. The added chapter is 22 pages to tell her experience of being on the Dr Phil show. It could have been shortened significantly and I would still have gotten the message of how she felt about being on the show. I did not need several paragraphs about why her and her husband did not fly together on the same flight. A couple of sentences would have been sufficient.
I waited on the wish list a very long time to get this book and was left somewhat disappointed in the actual telling of the author's life story.
