Review
This book is loaded with so much. It's a great piece of writing while being set on real life experience. I really enjoyed the way the tale was told and how everything came to be. There are so many ups and downs and WOW moments, it really did blow my mind at times. Emphasis on family and actions and consequences and so much more!
