Lehmah is a remarkable woman, and along with other Liberian women changed the course of history in their country basically through prayer, but the sad final commentary is that she sacrificed her morals and family to help her country. I came away from the book just wishing she had made a few different personal choices while making such great strides in helping her country, and women in general.
