There Is No Me Without You

I have to post this short book review.  I just finished up the book, There Is No Me Without You.  I absolutely loved it!  Yes, there were some parts that talked about the history of AIDS in Africa and the US that were a little slow reading, but as far as the story of Haregowin Tefferra, it was wonderful!  I'm not going to say too much about because I don't want to spoil it for anyone.  If you are at all interested in African orphans or adoption from Africa, read this book!  Haregowin was just woman who had had a pretty comfortable life in Ethiopia.  She had suffered some personal losses and was at the end of her rope ready to give up on life.  She was asked by a local pastor to take in a couple of children bc they had no where else to go.  She looked at this opportunity as God trying to save her.  It worked!  She loved those children and ended up accepting several more.  And the story goes on about how she accepted these children and had so many that she had to rent more homes.  It is a book full of emotions.  I laughed, cried, felt happy, sad.  She had many ups and many downs but she loved the children of her country.  She truly did her best to care for them and do what she thought was best for them.  It is a great read and I highly recommend it!
