Jasmine S. (citygrrl) - , reviewed on 1/30/2014

One of my top 10 books. She's a gorgeous writer and gives you a sense of her experience without making it a travelogue or the typical litany of tragedy. The chapters are capsules of her experience and thought - as well as windows into life as a journalist and the lives of the people she reports about. I started another "personal experience" book during the same time (The Blue Sweater) and this book was so much more authentic and vibrant. I rarely keep books - this one will be on that shelf.
