Truly very powerful story of Strength, love, and heroism, as well as survival! I was so hooked to the book that I couldn't put the book down! And I finished it within a week of getting it because it was that good! This story is truly inspiring and I definitely suggest it to whoever is thinking about reading it and is unsure about the book. DONT HESITATE TO GET THE BOOK! If you want to read it, READ IT! I am telling you... you will fall in love and get hooked the very second you read it! I am definitely getting cilkas journey as I do want to know what happened to her!
