The House at Sugar Beach: In Search of a Lost African Childhood
by Helene Cooper
4.5 stars. I loved Helene Cooper's biography of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and Cooper's memoir provides a personal perspective on some of the same forces that shaped President Sirleaf's experiences, candidacy, and presidency. It felt as though Cooper spent much more time on the years before the Liberian civil war than those after, which is an interesting choice--a decision not to write a disaster memoir, but to document what the country was like pre-war (in part, I would imagine, because Cooper and her family left so soon after the war began).
