I decided to read MAID because Obama recommended it to me. Unfortunately he didn’t personally ring me up to say “hey Isabel, you should read this great book”, I just saw on Amazon that it was his “Summer Reading Pick of 2019” and bought it on Kindle.

And I am SO glad I metaphorically picked it up: it was a seriously wonderful read, and you should read it too (buy here!). Stephanie reveals the shortcomings of America in her truthful and heart-breaking story.
