A Thousand Sisters: My Journey Into the Worst Place on Earth to Be a Woman by Lisa J. Shannon

4.0

Intense. Horrific and traumatic, but necessary. Step out of your comfort zone and realize what is going on in the world. I appreciate the honesty in Lisa Shannon's voice. Her inner struggle to be enough for these women of Congo without being patronizing or artificial was heartfelt. Her concern for gathering the stories of these women without becoming a "gore-monger" came across as sincere and a true effort to take the high ground. Makes me wish we could all do a little more.
