A book that got to me- but only at the very end was : Barraccoon by Zora Hurston
the last known living survivor of the last slave ship to come to America, this story is essentially the interview the author did with this man. He described being in Africa and coming to America against his will, his tragic life after his release to freedom and the sadness that came about throughout the years of his life with his wife and children. Ultimately what got to me was this part (Spoiler Alert!) where he describes nearing the end of his life and dreaming of his mother and remembering vivid dreams of Africa. OMG!! I lost it. You would just have to read it but it was beautiful.
Another book that made me lose it was Night by Elise Weisel (hope I'm spelling his name right). I've read many books about the holocaust and can never get tired of this topic simply because so many people experienced their own sorrows and victories. No two stories are really the same. A child should never witness the degradation and death of their own parents and this man's story is one that can make you do a double take. I was at work reading this on my break and lost it, with one of my co-workers coming in and not really knowing how to react to me lol! It was absolutely a good one.
