I really like this book. I love its honestly raw telling of her life and her struggles as an addict and her deliverance. It was hard to put down, and I read it quickly as it was so engaging.

Three stars for craft, five stars for the true story of how God saved Sasha and Svetlana from a hopeless life of drug addiction in war-torn Serbia.
