While this was an amazing book, for me, the stories were a bit rough to get into. In my opinion, the last story was the strongest and most relatable to me. Some of the writing seemed to be more background on the workers than the people the individual story is showcasing. While I may not read this book again, I will tell people to read it and experience the journey this book has.
