"I honestly do not like this book. I’ve tried so hard to finish it, but I made it to page 156. I think it’s a waste of time story. This is my opinion. "

"So good! "
Karen Masters
"Beautiful, beautiful story. It gives you an insiders look at a culture that most are unfamiliar with. There is romance and storytelling which I always enjoy. But, it also touches on topics like family, sacrifice, and physical disability. #"
