If it has been a while since you cried because something was so beautiful, this book should go right to the top of your reading list. Beginning with the indignities of childhood being sorted out with her neighbor friends and continuing with all the struggles that became opportunities to change the world, this book calls your heart out. I wondered if I would have Judy’s strength to make a life for herself in a cold world that didn’t want her. I wonder if I would have seen, remembered, and shared the beauty of so many little moments that added up to real change.
Everyone should read this book in order to grow in empathy, but I would like to especially recommend it to those who have grown world-weary. It truly lifted my spirits.
