I loved this compact and very readable history of Lèa Roback. My favorite part was the (very touching) conclusion. We (like Lèa’s great niece Tara Goldstein, author of the book), could all learn some wonderful lessons from Lèa:

“I hope this biography of Lea Roback’s activist life of community love and care inspires you to keep marching in whatever way (or cause) you think is needed.” - Tara Goldstein.

I won this book in a giveaway, for which i am very grateful. That being said, while its subject is both interesting and important, i cannot overlook the use of AI translation. That’s a dealbreaker for me.

This is a wonderful book about a woman who should be known worldwide for her stewardship and activism!

i won this in a storygraph giveaway, but posting my review myself :)

didn’t finish, as not for me, but definitely an interesting premise, and so nice to see a family member author this book.
