Alone in the wild
A woman finds her true self
Makes me want to hike
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Also, the most meaningful/relatable quote I found in the book:

"That's what fathers do if they don't heal their wounds. They wound their children in the same place."

As always, #EllenMarieWiseman never ceases to amaze me with her flawless writing and #poignant yet #heartwarming story. This moving tale is told from two point of view alternating between Lilly Blackwood in the #1930s and Julia Blackwood in the #1950s.

They were sentenced to 12 years of hard labour. In this book, Euna Lee chronicled her journey from imprisonment and later freedom after the intervention of the U.S government. #memoir #nonfiction #audiobook #poignant

A #poignant memoir about #love, #hope, #courage, #faith, and #forgiveness. #nonfiction #awesomeread #history #audiobook
