There was none of the "poor me" syndrome about it - it was more like Darah telling us to come with her on her journey and experience everything for ourselves. And boy, did she manage to draw you in to the extent that you felt as if you were there. No reader will be able to put this book down - you will laugh, you will cry, you will experience the pain and the joy that Darah and her family went through. I read this book  in four hours flat - I could not put it down." -Readers' Favorite"Darah Zeledon'sGirl with the Crooked Smileis certainly an encouragement to anyone who has had trials in this life.
