jbrooks79 's review for:
The House at Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African Childhood
by Helene Cooper
Never ceases to amaze me how little I really know about what's going on in the world around me. I can see where I was when these events in Liberia are taking place. I just don't remember knowing such horrors were occurring. Fortunately, Helene was not there to experience most of it but she had enough. Unbelievable to me that an entire country can not have electricity for years on end! I liked how Helene grew up for us and wove the personal with the historical. There were times I wanted more and times I wanted less. But she put herself into the story and made me want to be her friend and part of her family.
