I chose it for my book club without reading it. After reading I have found myself thinking about it a lot. I loved this book. Next week I'll find out if the other members enjoyed it as much as I did. And, like Nancy from the SF Bay Area, I would love to hear Kris speak. My daughter (who is now in Malawi, Africa for 3 months doing an internship in a refugee camp) recommended this book.

We thought this story was well told. We loved Monique and what she was able to accomplish for her village. We wished we could have met her and heard her talk about her experiences. Kris did a great job of describing a totally different world than our own. We would love to hear Kris speak if she ever comes to the SF Bay Area. My bookclub chose this book as our Nov selection.

I got it a couple of weeks ago and it has been sitting on my shelf. I will make it a priority. I know the first few pages had me hooked. I was sad to see that Monique had already passed.
