I couldn’t stop reading it once I started, and stayed up the whole night. It took me hours to read this book. It also made me realize that even though it is difficult to be a survivor, you can be one. It takes courage to write a book so deeply related to your life and experiences. Huge respect for the writer.
This book is extremely well written in a way that allows the reader to connect to the story being told. I finished the book within two days of receiving it. I will be shopping for other books written by Larry Franklin
