Penny
I reread this book for the second time. Found it even more engaging than when I first read it 15 years ago. A marvelous spiritual autobiography. Written with such depth of understanding as well as heart. The story of her childhood in extreme poverty and her retracing of her childhood landscape physically and emotionally. Very moving.
