The Invisible Girls

I found this at Goodwill for 99 cents and thought "why not?" even though it didn't seem like my go-to genre. Then, I devoured this book. I stayed up reading until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore for 2 or 3 nights because I couldn't put it down. I generally don't like the super Christian-y books, but this woman survived 3 bouts of breast cancer, multiple other ailments, and then met a refugee family and poured her heart into helping them. She basically lived for the Somali refugees she met, she reminds me so much of myself (minus the religious devotion) because she was happiest when she was helping that poor mother and her 5 little girls. They had nothing when they emigrated to the US, ending up in Portland, OR (my hometown), and Sarah met them one day and then did all she could to take care of them. The love that she shared with the 5 little girls, and the emotional turmoil of Sarah's cancer, absolutely tore my heart out and stomped on it. I cried SO much it isn't even funny. I sad-cried, then I happy-cried, and then I finished the book and didn't know what to do with my life.
