I recommended this book to everyone I talk to. It is by far, the best book I have read in ages. It is inspiring and triumphant to see an individual that has experienced such difficulties...yet, rise up and tell her story with such grace and honesty. What I admire most is her willingness to be true to herself and her dreams. While being respectful and accepting of the dreams of her parents. A wonderful read...I didn't want it to end!
