5.0

A powerful story of redemption and the dangers of our juvenile and adult justice system. This book made me take a hard look at myself and my own forgiveness towards
People who have wronged me or those I have wronged. Cyntoia showed and amazing amount of perseverance and resilience when it seemed all was lost.

I hope her story changes the narrative in sentencing, especially juveniles. And particularly crimes committed by trafficked minors.

What I appreciated most about her story is she never denied or made excuses. She owned up, wrestled
and bravely moved forward.

Highly suggested for book club reading.
