Official Review: Finding Paris: A Memoir of Hope

[Alice Heritage]

It is too bad about the editing, otherwise the book sounded like a very honest and intimate account of Paris's life. I would like to read this book. Thanks for the insightful review!

Yes, I hope it does get edited thoroughly. Those wrong word errors are really distracting! Thanks for commenting.

Even if you don’t like memoirs or don’t normally read them, I’d recommend that you try this. It doesn’t descend into rambling as memoirs can - the focus on the author’s growing strength is sustained throughout. However, if you prefer fantasy or fiction over real life stories every time, then this is not for you.

This wouldn't normally be the type of book I would read, but thanks to your great review I will check this one out

I like how forgiving the author is and she didn't let the bitterness of the past experiences overwhelmed her. She is a strong woman indeed. This is the type of book that is worth reading. Thank you for your thorough review.

As someone who prefers reading sci-fi and fantasy, I find myself drawn to this book. Thank you for your review. Another big maybe for me.

I love the message of hope in this memoir, and the author's example of forgiveness. The contrast between the image we portray to the world and the inner reality is a real issue people struggle with. I feel sorry that Paris had such a difficult childhood, but I'm glad she grew strong through it.

Yes, exactly. Thanks for stopping by.

I enjoyed your review very much. What an intriguing and difficult story. The foster system is a delicate subject that sounds like it was handled well in this memoir. I am glad there is an overall message of hope. I will skip the book for now but appreciate your thorough and candid review.

Excellent review and the book sounds impactful. Changing a name goes to the heart of identity - that really struck me.

That's right - the power of naming is a strong theme. Thanks for reading and replying.

read the review of the book Finding Paris, A Memoir of Hope. I observed one thing in your review and that is complexity of the language and sentences which are not completely accessible. Anyway the we can get information about Paris and their people.

Thanks for your comment. Which sentences were too complex to be accessible, out of interest?

Memoirs can be good or very bad and it appears this one is on the good side. I like the fact it is a different country and she overcomes her childhood. Great job summarizing the book!
