I never got to read this when I was younger, when it came out. It’s a powerful book that speaks to something that continues to this day.  The fact that it’s banned in places because it speaks this truth is why people should be reading this. The characters may be fiction but the story is true for many and a reminder to those that survived it. This is truly an amazing book of survival and gaining the strength to speak out.
