This book title is a long one, but describes aptly the process that Lisa and the rest of her family had to endure to make the homecoming a reality. I remember watching the homecoming on television. From the day the journalists Euna Lee and Laura Ling were taken hostage on March 17, 2009 until 5 months later upon their release, the book shares intimate details. The chapters of the book alternate between the voices of Lisa and Laura. Thus, the pain, the frustration, the anger, the weariness that both endured as each fought various battles is painted clearly. This is a book that everyone who is a student of world history, journalism, human rights, politics or just an everyday citizen needs to read. As I was reading this book, I felt the emotion of each sister.
