Just wow!

And this is why I read!
Loved learning about the history of Romania seen the eyes of our narrator. Several times during the story I was comparing my daily "hard" life to this teen boy and his life. Such a stark difference between freedom and liberty and dicatorship.

This is my second book from this author and won't be the last. I learn so very much. I appreciate her author notes even more. She interviewed and used people's stories who wished to remain anonymous but still have their storeis be shared.
