Couple of copy-editing errors in my copy, but an interesting, detail-filled story! The Signal Corps women's experiences were totally new to me. #historicalfiction

22 #66 I liked this one a lot. Jennifer Chiaverini is becoming one of my faves!

This story had so much potential! Unfortunately, although clearly meticulously researched I feel the author got too caught up in the details which led to the storyline being somewhat sloggy. I admit to skimming at points as I wanted a story not a textbook read.

3.5/5 rating: This was meticulously researched, no doubt about it, but way more telling than showing. I got bogged down in the details 🫠😵‍💫 I found myself skimming a lot. It also made it difficult for me to keep up and remember what was going on with the 3 main characters. I found myself within 5 pages of a new chapter saying, “Wait, who is this?” I‘d suggest #BorrowNotBuy on this one, I don‘t think it‘s a re-read worthy book

Malala Yousafzai, the youngest person to be a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, fought for the rights of girls to pursue education in Pakistan. She continues to advocate for change in the treatment of women, refugees and marginalized persons throughout the world.
This book is by the father of this amazing woman, as he reflects on the time raising her and her brothers. I‘ve never cried so hard in a prologue.
