 I, an avid reader, state with complete cofidence that  The Freedom Writers Diary  is the most inspiring book I have ever read in 42 years of my life. If the author succeeded to help her students find hope and rebuild their lives, then I am convinced that there is no life test that I would fail to pass in my personal life. Her presentation, I know, will incalculably enrich my life and solidify my conviction that impossible is possible.
