Stephanie Land is a strong and courageous woman who set off to create a better life for her daughter. Reading about her journey was beautiful and inspiring as she never let the downfalls of life consume her and instead rose above them. It also made me angry at how hard it is for people who need help to get help, along with how judgemental the world is. We should be doing more and being supportive. Overall this book was a true masterpiece and I strive to have the ambition Stephanie has.

I actually watched the TV show first so everything was so exaggerated in there, this book was less dramatic. But it was still a harrowing, interesting story that we should all look at and take note of. This is a person that suffered greatly, even with white privilege. Imagine those that have stories even worse with no support and ability to tell their story. I’m grateful for this book so I can keep that in mind and look out for my community. I hope those that are living in their own bubble will take a chance, read this book, and see how much we need to come together and look out for each other. An important read.
