Reviews
The author of this memoir has suffered so much in her 27 years that writing about it involved a risk. "Road Song" could have been a saccharine tract about the triumph of the human spirit or such a painful tale that even reading it would hurt. Instead it's a calm, reflective affirmation of family love.[7]
