"A moving account of hardships and triumphs that is bound to
inspire future activists, this is a devastating but crucial
read. " —Kirkus, Starred review

the same title... this vibrant book stands on its own as a
source of inspiration." —Booklist, Starred review

—VOYA, Starred review
"A vivid, heartrending portrait of resilience in the face of
tremendous obstacles; a closing section details ways readers can
take action." —Publishers Weekly
