Such good reading

I've been reading this summer. Not as much as I had hoped, but reading, nonetheless. As I've mentioned, I already finished 1776. Took me awhile, as its not really light reading, but it was totally worth my afternoons and time inbetween saying "Nope- Utah corn will be on in about 10 days..." This is the next book I read. I swallowed it whole. And then I immediately called my sister who recommended it to me. I was in tears more times in this book than I think I've ever been in any other book. Each time I remembered it was a true story, the more astounded I became. I'm obviously recommending it. Its truly an amazing tale about the human spirit, about America, about the power of believing in a Heavenly Father regardless of your religion and about the power of an individual. Beautiful work.
