This book needs more publicity immediately!
The entire time listening to this audiobook, I kept thinking, "How can I get my teenage sons to read this book?" It is one of those books that every high schooler must read. It needs to be extensively discussed in classrooms. It is that book that, as soon as I finished it, I wanted to start it again.
This is nonfiction at its best. There are so many layers and facets to this story, and Dashka Slater does an incredible job of laying out each one in a way that encourages the reader to consider every side while simultaneously looking inward to reflect on how our own seemingly harmless choices can have a lasting impact on our own lives and the lives of others.
