"Gardens made food, and food made families."

Adding that to my bucket list!

So excited to meet Jackie French this evening!

I'm really enjoying listening to this, though some of the violence is a bit graphic for my taste.

Can't wait to start reading this!

This book is intriguing me and horrifying me at the same time. How can history be so cruel?

For me, this book just did not live up to the hype...

"If you are a teenager now, it is unlikely that you knew us well. We are your shadow uncles, your angel godfathers, your mother's or your grandmother's best friend from college... We are the ghosts of the remaining older generation. You know some of our songs... We taught you how to dance..."

"It was an exquisite irony: Just when we stopped wanting to kill ourselves, we started to die. Just when we were feeling strength, it was taken from us."

Anyone else get excited when their name is in a book?

I really enjoyed this book and read it long before it was cool...

This book ripped out my heart.

A very honest portrayal of what it is like growing up in an evangelical Christian family.

Every parent's nightmare. Some teachers' reality...

Chilling. Engrossing. Disturbing. Wow.

I loved this book as a child. I must re-read it sometime soon!
