An emotional memoir of an impoverished young man’s determination and faith to find a better life. Also, a tribute to Ketter’s closely knit family and friends who gave him the courage to succeed through the harshest of times. As a victim of PTSD, I found this memoir to be an uplifting read. Some parts are unsettling, but necessary to experience the pain of war on its innocent victims. The harsh scenes of the author’s war-torn Liberian homeland are vividly described. The memoir’s well-placed photographs give depth to the story. Given the author’s meticulous journaling, I would have also liked some timely dialogue interspersed in the memoir to increase its impact. In my opinion, it’s a powerful story worth reading in our turbulent world. Well-written, sending a clear message of hope and love. With some work, it could be converted into a screenplay and perhaps a powerful motion picture.
