Not yet. I was wondering if someone else did and would recommend it Smile

She and her husband are fascinating people: she's an American Jew and an Iraq veteran; he's a Spanish Soviet writer paralyzed with CP; they live in Israel and have a daughter with autism. He's written several books about his experiences in Soviet institutions for the disabled - not easy reading at all, I'd imagine. But then neither is her memoir about the Iraq war. I'm wondering which book to get first, if any.

This book has major problems with editing, proofreading, and layout. Therefore, despite the interesting content, I can't recommend it.

If you're going to self-publish, for heaven's sake, do it properly.

Thanks. I'll still keep an eye out to see if it's in our library system. Sorry you had to spend the money to save the rest of us.
