Wow.. just wow. I cried so much reading this. My heart hurts. These women. I don’t know how they survived. I would’ve given up. It took me a while to read this book as I had to keep putting it down. What strong, brave women. I commend them. What they did, how they survived is something to be proud of. I’m so glad that they got to tell their stories.
