My Mother's Daughter: A Memoir of Struggle and Triumph by Perdita Felicien

4.0

I remember watching Perdita Felicien in the 2004 Summer Olympics, I remember knowing she was the favorite to win Gold, I remember what happened, and that was all I knew about her.

I was quite surprised by how quickly I was taken by this book.
The struggles of her mother as a young girl, coming to Canada, trying to build a better life for her children.
I could not put it down.
From the first page to the last I was a part of this family.
