This is an amazing story that I commend Becky
for writing and sharing with us. While reading this book I could feel her pain
and suffering and realized that I am truly blessed for being born in America.

This book is a true inspiration to all those that were ever faced with
hardships but dreamed of more. The decision to achieve her dreams in her "Promise Land" gave Rebecca the strength to
keep fighting even when times became unbearable. This book is a great reminder
that if you truly want something, nothing should stand in your way!!!!

A great read!!! A very hard journey to get to her freedom. Strong and free
really fits. An very inspiring book.
John Warwick
The book is fantastic! The descriptions were vivid enough for me to actually
visualize and experience while reading, what Rebecca endured. She went through
a lot yet in every circumstance of hardship she persevered. I felt energized,
comforted and inspired by this book.

I haven't had the opportunity to lay hands on the book as yet, but I can attest
to some of the things she went through as I happen to hail from the same
country as hers-"Sierra Leone", but even more so because I am her
eldest brother who had painfully seen her go through some of life's ordeal.
Some of her other ordeals I later learnt about- sending waves of painful
emotional shock down my spine. Even as I speak, she continues to experience
some rough and tough situations; but be that as it may, my comments will be
words of commendation-:"BRAVO BECKY" you are an example to many for
emulation, keep the faith, hold on to the fortress, and most of all consolidate
your relationship with your creator, the journey of life continues, and he will
always be there when you need him most.

Out of the many people I have met, Rebecca Macauley Campbell is probably the
most impressive. With her life story she truly has a significant narrative and
message to share with others. Her tale is both gripping and meaningful, and I
highly recommend it to anyone over the age of 16. She has repeatedly endured
extremely challenging tribulations and travails, yet she has always gone on to
flourish again and maintained her optimism and joie de vivre. This book is not
only a good read; it may also be used as a conceptual roadmap for improving
one's outlook and life. You will be moved by this book.

From the moment I picked up this book, I found
myself captivated by the "gut-wrenching" details of torture and
tragedy that was Rebecca's life! How could one person struggle so hard from an
early age, yet still find the strength and determination to go on? She escaped
a civil war, yet, as a Canadian, I had little knowledge that such brutality and
corruption was happening just across the ocean. In this book, Rebecca opened my
eyes to the blessings we so often take for granted living in this great
country, and also, she inspired me to believe that anything is possible if you
work hard to make it happen. At the end of the book I found myself wanting to
read more and curious about the next chapter in her life. God-willing, Rebecca
will turn her trials into triumphs and will come to find solace in her
"promised land", where she is now "strong and free"! I
recommend this book to all my fellow Canadians who occasionally disregard our
privileged lifestyles and to all of those who need a little inspiration to make
something happen!

Wonderful book, Becky is living
proof of what a human being can do to survive in the worst of situations.
Hopefully her new life in Canada
will give her joy and happiness. Her story is an inspiration too all of us. As
Canadians we take so much for granted this book is a MUST read.
