this book is written with the most incredible hope. i have never read a book with such an incredible undercurrent of the force of hope, in fact it has moved me to tears reading it. i don’t think i really have words for how incredible this memoir is. only an overwhelming sense of sadness, respect, hope and admiration for Dr Westover.

This was an incredible story, unbelievable, at times. I am in awe that Dr. Westover was able to survive and tell the tale.
