Book Reviews of Hungry for the World: A Memoir
Book Review: Against All Odds
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an incredible memoir that takes the reader on a very dark journey through the world of pain and despair. The writing is very rich and poetic at times, but some parts are very disturbing and you wonder how she will survive. The journey starts when Barnes runs away after graduating high school from a suffocating Pentecostal home environment only to be lost in a series of bad jobs as well as complicated and emotionally charged relationships throughout most of her young life. At times it's a hard book to read even though the language is beautiful. However, if you stick with it, you will find that this is also a powerful story of forgiveness as she develops a sense of peace in her life. This is one of those books you will never quite forget.
