Bardzo dosadne świadectwo politycznej uchodźczynie, której udało się zbiec z amerykańskiego systemu penitencjarnego. Historia przemocy ze względu na płeć i rasę, systemowego rasizmu i ucisku kobiety z klasy robotniczej. Bardzo polecam przeczytać, ale jest to mrożąca lektura.

Wow. I thought I knew her story but I knew nothing. The things this woman has been through. It’s eye opening. It’s horrific. It’s important. I hope everyone gets a chance to read her story and takes her advice to heart. She learned so much. She has much that we can learn from her. This is an essential memoir.
