challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense fast-paced

5.0

A Visceral, emotional and compelling  account of how she experienced poverty and developed hope. She contextualises her own struggles to move out of hopelessness and poverty within the support, kindness and belief of others. She looks at it both personally and structurally to make a powerful and moving memoir.
