lauram01 's review for:

4.0

A moving memoir describing life as a child during was, as a soldier, and recovery from such trauma.

I can't begin to imagine a childhood like this; Ishmael was fighting for his life while I was living my boring childhood in America. I continue to be grateful for the life I have and saddened by how little I knew (know?) of the world.

I did find the ending a little abrupt. I wanted to know how he got to the US.
