Still interesting, but unfortunately it seems this is more of a book about O'meara's self discovery and platform for various other social issues. She has come clean about her own hero worship, but I still feel like the lens of book is rather rose colored. I still like where she's coming from but this book feels a first book.

Overall I'm really enjoying, but I'm also growing more worried about the author's partiality. I find that she's making more and more assumptions and connecting things that must seem obvious to her and her very personal connection with her subject. I just hope she can remain objective and tell HER story, not the story of how great she things she was.
