What a charming and inspiring book. I wish that I had read it as a teenager, finding my place in the world, and searching for the strength to do for myself what should have been done for me. How sad for me that no mentor has yet appeared to lend me strength and wisdom, but such fairy godmothers only ever appear in stories.
Nonetheless, perhaps teaching this book to my students will give them something of what I needed at their age. And may I continue to be that person for them, to the best of my ability.
