I honestly always have trouble rating memoirs even if they're my favorite genre. How can someone else rate someone's life? Their journey?
However, this memoir just didn't do it for me. The chapters are short and it's hard to connect to the author, to really feel as they felt, especially if you've never lived her kind of life. It seems to brush over the details and just give synopses of different events in her life, and sometimes not really in order.
The writing isn't bad and it was a quick read, but it wasn't much more than that. A quick read. I suppose I was hoping for something a little more. I'm happy the author was able to find happiness and joy through becoming a Christian, but with little connectivity I'm not sure that many minds will be changed based upon this book.
It can be enjoyed by Christians, but I don't know if many other people will branch out and read it.

While the story of the author's struggles through life and her discovery of her faith was certainly capable of being a compelling memoir, the book read more like an overview, or a summary. I didn't feel her pain or her joy.
It was a short, quick read. Unfortunately, I was quite happy for it to end.
