Wow! I can't believe this is a true story. And even harder to believe that she has forgiven. This is an amazing story and a wake up call about my own level of forgiveness.
The part of the book in which the author recounts the events of her childhood and the terror she and her family lived through at the hands of others is great. However, after the recounting is over, the book becomes incredibly preachy - something that may appeal to others, but I did not pick this book up expecting a sermon to take up the last 20%. It is not something I enjoyed. I ended up skipping the last few chapters.
