Re: Official Review: The Sugar Queen by Lina Kennedy
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!

- Latest Review: The Pale Flesh of Wood by Elizabeth A. Tucker
I find this especially commendable because many successful business people overlook that there are other important aspects in life besides career development. I'm glad she cared for her son so much. It seems like a truly inspiring memoir. Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review!This memoir is a compelling piece of work. The complexity of human nature is highlighted through various characters, and the beautiful relationship that Lina has with her son brought tears to my eyes. Every child deserves to be loved the way she loved him. She protected him, understood him, and sincerity radiates from this pure mother-son relationship. She lived a driven and fast-paced life, but still with a very strong mindset in the reality that she had a child to care and provide for.
