American Woman

American Woman earns a 3. A woman in hiding for radical actions taken against the government is called upon to help others fleeing persecution. Verbose but poignant, we learn of the good intentions that lead to ill deeds when those that feel righteous or neglected demand to be listened to. It is suprisingly relevant given today's climate, where so many feel an unjust war is being fought to obtain riches for a select few. What is it like to be on the other side? To feel as if the only resource you have to give is your life, and the only actions that will garner any attention are of the most extreme nature? A good read. Stick with it through the first few chapters, the story becomes intensely more interesting with the introduction of a few more characters and further plot formation.
