Patience is trying to get to America to find her mother. Her determination gets her through many tough and heartbreaking situations. Her journey is a tough one that pulls at your heart as she overcomes each obstacle. I enjoyed reading this book. I love the way Abi drew us in and weaved the country's fight for democracy into Patience's journey.
