More About My Story

Music is the unspoken language that can convey feelings more accurately than talking ever could. Elizabeth Smart, My Story As of this writing, I am twenty-five years old. I have been alive for 307 months. Nine of those months were pretty terrible. But 298 of those months have been very good. I have been happy. I have been very blessed. Who knows how many more months I have to live? But even if I died tomorrow, nine out of 307 seems like pretty good odds. Elizabeth Smart, My Story Later, there were times when I was angry with myself for succumbing to that fear. But those with shattered souls find it very difficult to speak. Elizabeth Smart, My Story

Not sure how to rate this. It was poorly written in my opinion and very child-like. (Not sure if that's the right word I'm looking for?). It was a little bit hard to read. Parts of it felt like she was talking in circles. Parts of it felt like it was just a platform to say emphatically that she didn't have Stockholm syndrome and that... AUDIOBOOKI lived in Salt Lake City in 2002 when Smart was abducted from her bedroom less than a mile from my student apartment in the foothills. Along with thousands of others, I helped search for her. Nine months later, I fell to my knees and cried when I got a phone call from my brother: "Turn on the TV! They found Elizabeth Smart!"I...
