adventurous challenging emotional fast-paced

I actually watched the TV show first so everything was so exaggerated in there, this book was less dramatic. But it was still a harrowing, interesting story that we should all look at and take note of. This is a person that suffered greatly, even with white privilege. Imagine those that have stories even worse with no support and ability to tell their story. I’m grateful for this book so I can keep that in mind and look out for my community. I hope those that are living in their own bubble will take a chance, read this book, and see how much we need to come together and look out for each other. An important read.
