Audio book review. The book is written by both Samuel and Connie - each read their own parts. Samuel's narration is brilliant as would be expected. Connie's narration is real and emotional. This is an amazing story and an amazing achievement. I donated a few times to the cause over the years and it has raised over $2M.
