While reading Life, In Spite of Me, by Kristen Jane Anderson, I was touched by her honesty about her struggles. I was also encouraged by how the Lord used her struggles to draw her to Himself. I've never experienced the trials Kristen faced, but I can understand the helplessness she felt prior to knowing the Lord as her Savior, prior to her suicide attempt.
I think this book would be a great encouragement to someone struggling with their purpose in life, someone who is lost. It's a great reminder that so many of us have similar struggles. I think it would be a great read for teens who feel like no one understands them.
Kristen writes, in detail, about the experiences leading up to her suicide attempt, her memories of that night and her life after she lost her legs. Her honesty is so refreshing.
The book flows easily. I read it in an afternoon.
