I finished this book in just 6 hours. While I'm aware that the author is a new writer working with a limited budget, I’ll overlook the minor typos and occasional awkward sentence structures.
This book was emotionally powerful, evoking tears and a range of feelings. It made me realize that motherhood isn't a natural fit for everyone, contrary to societal expectations.
George Auko's love for Mamii, his stepdaughter, was genuine and profound. The author skillfully and sensitively captured his story, making it a truly heartwarming read. I highly recommend this book.
