What Readers Are Saying

It's an absolutely beautiful book. The writing is fantastic. I feel that I know you in your heart from reading your words about your memories of your food, country, and culture. It's such a special book!

You allow us to see real people in real context, eating the delicious foods. I love it when abstract observations are embodied in actual situations. This book will help many to understand that Liberia is far more than civil war and patriarchs.
