How One Letter Changed Two Lives
Feb 26, 2016
There are many books that I enjoy reading, but very few blow me away. This one did. It's a true story about an American girl who chooses a pen pal boy from Zimbabwe. They learn that their lives are as different as night and day, but the support and hope they give one another over the next six years is awe inspiring. Their lives and their families' lives are forever changed because of the compassion, commitment, and determination that they showed. Liz Welch did an excellent job in putting their stories together and creating a format that is far more than just the letters. I believe this book has the power to change the lives of its readers and would make for great discussion in book groups, both young adult and adult.
