Change for the better
I first read this book when I was ninteen years of age and had lived away from home for the first time. I led a very sheltered religious life and always wanted to do what others wanted me to do. This book gave me the freedom to think for myself and to recognize the value of my own thoughts and actions. My life was changed for the better. This does not mean I lost the morals or values I grew up with but meant that I was significant and central to my own life and not merely the attachment of someone elses.
