I am not sure if it was the writing style or the story itself, but I had a really hard time getting into this book. The main character wasn't able to have children of her own, so she felt drawn to Teeba when she read an article about her in the newspaper. A Brave Face is about their journey together. I did like that they have a few pages of photos from their story. It's not a hard book to read in the sense of writing itself, but I found it emotionally difficult to read. Seeing the truth of the impact on the kids was just too heart breaking.
