Read till the end

Really, the best part is the last 30 pages so keep reading.

This book is an overly repetitive narrative by a young woman whose gift is serving Jesus and the needy in Uganda. Her gift is not writing, nor is it helping people to relate to her experience. It is a string of remarkable stories of extreme poverty and how the author sacrificially responds every time, told in "Christianese." What the book is lacking is down-to-earthness. Although I am convinced that the author is walking the walk of what she believes, the writing is utterly Pollyanna. Also, this book may not be appropriate for book clubs that are secular or mixed faith.

I enjoyed learning more about the Kennedy family and the context for Rosemary's life.
