Helpful Score: 4

This was an enjoyable, quick read. I wouldn't say that the author is an amazing writer, but I was impressed that the story flowed well and was easy and fun to read as opposed to many non-authors that write memoirs that are difficult to read and the lack of style seriously gets in the way of the enjoyment.

This is a book that is easy to read as the author's experiences are almost separate stories in each chapter, so you can pick up and put down as need be without losing flow of the story line. The stories of Afghanistan are amazing and a good lesson for us in developed countries and all that we have, although the author herself seems oblivious to her bad life choices and neediness that eventually takes fruit in her becoming the second wife of an Afghan man and then becoming upset when he has relations and another child with his first wife. It doesn't detract totally from the book, but did make me wonder from time to time why someone with their own demons wasn't taking the time to confront and deal with them as opposed to doing for everyone else.

Enjoyable book, you will learn something and feel grateful for your own life.
