It definitely does sound like a powerful book that probably doesn't hold anything back, but I do think it's important for people to understand that people's lives can often be so very different than their own.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6637440206562155541.post-68245973448245823612012-10-28T18:46:30.022+00:002012-10-28T18:46:30.022+00:00I still have to read this book.
