TOUCHING, SAD, AND VERY WELL WRITTEN<br /><br />The story is so universal in the search for self and place in the world. Anna's story is both heart-wrenching and victorious. The writing forces you to see the movie in your head as you read. Very well done. <br /><span class="gr10"><span class="txtsmall"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A263BHG3L852UI/ref=cm_cr_dp_pdp" class="noTextDecoration">Malyka Knapp-smith</a></span></span>
