Book Reviews of Benedita Da Silva: An Afro-Brazilian Woman's Story of Politics and Love
Book Review: Benedita makes us proud!
Summary: 5 Stars
I enjoyed reading about Benedita's rise to the Senate. Though filled with unhappy moments; the loss of her children, poor medical care, living in inhuman conditions, this woman still rose like a phoenix from ashes. In her book, she reveals her pride for the Brazilian people and herself. She never gave up, even when her critics were cruel and demeaning. I am an African American. Every day, we should pray for the favelados and also for people that live in similar conditions worldwide.
