Undaunted: Surviving Jonestown, Summoning Courage, and Fighting Back by Jackie Speier
3.0
If all your looking for (like me) is the bit about Jonestown! Jump to chapter 4
Which is what I did, I think I took in a bit of the after, with her recovery and some of the tabloid and political aftermath. BUT once we got back into the rest of her political career I gave it up.
I think it is a bit of a misnomer (and a tricky move) that "Surviving Jonestown" is the first bit in the subtitle because this is the ENTIRE life of Jackie Speier, who was not a member of the Peoples Temple but was a "Ryan Girl" for Leo Ryan... Had I spent money on this book instead of grabbing it at the library I would be upset at the deception.
