This is a well written book. I loved the style used. I feel like we could have had more details, but I'm not mad about it. Plot twist was kind of a dissapointment, but only because I thought it was going somewhere else.

inspiring reflective fast-paced

4.5

I have enjoyed these books, as evidence by continuing to ready them. This one was no exception. 
However, I had a small issue. This one seemed to repeat the same sentiments, just re-written to sound different. 
Otherwise, as usual, a good guide to personal development without being overly "you're horrible and I'm gonna fix it".

This book created emotions in me I had yet to experience in life. It will pull at your heart. It's a horrible story, but well worth the read. I would hope she would be touched by the amount of people that fought for her.
Very well written and researched.

I read this a long time ago and don't recall it all that well, but I do know this is the book that introduced me to Jackie and I have read several since and am still collecting them.
