On Apr 18 2012, Rpsmith said:
I was asked to read this book as part of a leadership class and I felt I really enjoyed it. The book was a little hard to get into, but the story was very good. I would highly recommend this book if your interested in learning about historical events from people that experienced it like the Carter family.
