This memoir was recommended to me by a friend of mine who shares similar likes and dislikes in books and whose opinion I trust wholeheartedly. So when she recommended this, I was excited to read a good book. And this book is wonderful. Partly because it's a true story.
A 4-year-old girl from Columbia found herself alone deep in the jungle of South America. She does eventually get out of the jungle when she's a preteen. The book is divided into two parts - her time in the jungle and her time after she got out. And as fascinating as her time in the jungle was, it's her life after that was compelling.
This book opened my eyes a little bit more to the capacity for evil that is in human beings. And the capacity for sacrifice and love.
This book is a must read!
