Jesus Land: A Memoir

Helpful Score: 1


So wonderfully written but so, so sad. It was so engrossing that I could barely pull myself away but I hated every minute of it. How people could treat children like this is beyond me. I so feel for Julia and everything that she has endured because everything that she went through was just senseless. The way that she writes about David, you understand him, you know him. He just wants to be part of a family and aside from his relationship with Julia, that will never happen. My heart is broken for those two kids. I finished the book on a plane today and I was crying on the plane. I had to move my hair in front of my face to try to keep my fellow travelers from seeing it. I think this book is one that will stay with me for a long time. I'm just so sad for them both.
