A House in the Sky by Amanda Lindhout, Sara Corbett

enbylievable's review against another edition

5.0

Probably one of the hardest books I've ever read. Lindhout's recount of her time as a victim of kidnapping in Somalia is as harrowing as it is inspirational. To think that this could have happened to someone who lives so close to where we do (Calgary) makes it hit home all the harder.
