Review: An Emotional Journey
Rating: 5 out of 5

This was a difficult book for me to read and I usually avoid books that bring a lot of sadness due to the chosen content.  However I was intrigued by the title and decided to give it a try.  I'm so glad that I did.  There is a lot of angst, there is a lot of abuse and having read about slavery in the past the author chooses to include a lot that I've heard before.  However, it was written in a way that made me want to read more.  The main character is such a beautiful young boy, full of life and full of wanting more.  His portrayal of the boys thoughts, emotions and desires is what made this book so amazing to me.  I learned SO much from this character, his words were profound and I found myself wanting to shout for joy.  Definitely a book that will go down as one of the favorites of all time.
