ORDER BOOK

“At first all I expected from this book was a good and interesting story, but when I continued reading, I found it to be SO much more then that and could not put it down.

I am truly amazed that you did not let what happened to you destroy you as happens to others who through no fault of their own, are not that strong. It must have been terrifying, and reading the story I felt such sadness but also happiness that you could do the right thing and forgive your parents. You could have easily gone in so many wrong directions and I love that you chose to “Rise From the Rubble”.”
