I cried many times at the generosity of the women she shared about. I'm inspired to dream big and give generously and joyfully. Our finances are so much more than just money, they can be a blessing to others

So sad to read what this poor girl had to endure.  Hard times for her entire life, I hope she finds happiness and good fortune.  She deserves some good luck and love.

As hard as it was to read some of the awful things Jaycee had to endure, it was so worth it to know who she has become in the end. Her positive attitude and love for life is truly inspiring. She makes you take notice and be grateful even for the smallest of things, things that we have gotten to busy to see. She is a remarkable woman.

So often life deals very difficult moments, and those moments turn into years.  Here you can read about Kamila Sidiqi and how she triumphs over a repressive country that is mired in violence.  Kamilia confined to her home starts a business to be the sole breadwinner for her five siblings when the older men in her family are forced to flee the city.

True grit and determination turn a very difficult situation into survival.  A true story so worth the reading.  These women triumph over difficult situations and make the best of their lives in difficult times.

Was blessed to experience the telling of this story by the author herself at our women's retreat this weekend.  A touching, inspiring, emotional story....and a wonderful woman.

What a wonderful insight into one woman's real life nightmare.  She has to be a strong person to have come through this experience and be able to reconstruct with words what she felt and lived through. I applaud her family for surviving with her.  It had to be far from easy.

Nancy Zieman is an amazing lady. She has gone through so much in her life and has emerged from those trials with grace and dignity. Reading about her life inspires me.

A moving example of faith in God and the spirit of survival over horrific cruelty.  I was very touched by Nonna's life and how she overcame so much.  She was able to forgive and create a wonderful life for herself and her family and flourish despite everything.  I would recommend this book to every one.

This must have been a very difficult book to write as it tells of a time in our history, where it took a lot of courage for one person to stand up against odds there were not in her favor.
It tells of her childhood and what made her the person she is today.
It is a wonderful story about a very strong women to stand up against odds that were against her. I encourage everyone to read this book.

This is am amazing lady.  She was the first one to escape the FLDS with all her - eight in this case - children.  She managed to be in an abusive household where she was apparently frequently treated like a nanny and household slave, yet get a degree and teach while raising eight children, one with some severe handicaps. Her story of survival and escape are very inspirational.  What else interested me was how her depiction of multiple marriages made the stories of Leah and Rebecca, and Hannah, become so much more real and understandable.

She was a beautiful person and her story is incredible.  Written more as a journalist story but the content is a novel with a true story that will warm your heart.

Mel's resilience and strong character come though in this extremely well-written story of her life. Even though she's gone though several devastating life events, she maintains her humanity, caring nature and love of life. She shows us that even when it seems like all is lost, you can get through it and emerge even stronger. She's such an inspirational human being!
