An important story for sure. After a Q and A session with author Leslie Barry, I learned that how truly personal this story is to her family and how important it is to pay attention to history as we navigate the present.
As important as the story is, I wish I liked the execution more. There are a lot of changing 1st person POV sections (at least 4 POVs), even within chapters, which was a bit disorienting to me at times.
