She seems to have been willing to do anything,to survive. There are some convenient coincidences,too. Help always seems to have arrived,when she needed it. By midday I’d traveled deep into the red sand, and deep into my own thoughts. Where in the hell was I going? I wondered. I didn’t even know what direction I was heading in. The landscape stretched on to eternity, the sand broken only occasionally by an acacia or thorn tree; I could see for miles and miles. Hungry, thirsty, and tired, I slowed down and walked. Strolling along in a bored daze, I wondered where my new life would take me. What was going to happen next? Gold medal of the President of the Republic of Italy (2010) for her achievements as a human rights activist. [39]

When Juanita Sanchez and the Desert Flowers—Willow Sanchez Kincaid, Rose Bowers, and Lily Walden —open Juanita’s Kitchen, the food kitchen Alec Thurston and they formed as a charitable organization, a young woman named Ivy Barrett and her seven-year-old son, Benjy come into their lives. Ivy is appointed head of the kitchen staff and they all work together to open the kitchen before the holidays. But when Christmas decorations are hung and talk about Santa Claus begins, Ivy makes sure Benjy understands that Santa Claus has never been in their lives and he shouldn’t dare hope he ever would. Distressed, Juanita and her husband, Pedro, set out to show them the spirit of giving is still alive and well, even for those who don’t believe. Samantha was an intriguing character who I found myself sympathizing with. Half the time I wanted to yell at her, but I knew why she was doing what she was doing and so it didn't frustrate me too badly. I really liked Connor and Turner too. I'm not sure which one I liked better. I think I liked Turner better, but I don't know if he was the better guy for her.

[5] I am telling you at the beginning you better have a few tissues ready when you read this book. It is one of the most heartwarming and touching stories and makes you believe in the spirit of Christmas. And Benji will steal your heart and like Juanita you will want to hug Benji every chance you get.

I wished it would have expanded more on those issues, but it was really well-written.

I love this book. Waris' time in Somalia as a child was my favorite part. It was both disturbing and lovely and wholly real.

I had no protection, no weapon. Nor the strength to run. Even under the best of circumstances, I knew I couldn’t beat the lion up the tree, because like all cats, lions with their strong claws are excellent climbers. By the time I got halfway up—BOOM—one swipe and I’d be gone. Without any fear I opened my eyes again and said to the lion, Come and get me. I’m ready for you.
