Book Reviews of The Voice That Remembers: A Tibetan Woman's Inspiring Story of Survival

Book Review: an eye-opener; truly a heroic story of a woman's survival
Summary: 4 Stars

My heart and respect goes out to this woman who, still living today, survived the atrocities the chinese revolutionaries inflicted on her. I applaud her determination not to be "reeducated" by the communists throughout her entire imprisonment and her success in not allowing this to happen. I also applaud her perserverance in maintaining her faith, when it would be so easy to abandone this in such circumstances. Noone should have to withstand the brutal, inhumane kinds of behavior she did. Throughout the book and even afterwards, I still ask myself the same question "how could anyone do such things to another human being?". Was truly affected by the story and am much more aware of the Tibetan struggle as a result. Highly recommend this for a week-end read!
