Realistic and depressing

4 stars

Very depressing reading. It’s a fictional work, but based on the author’s experience working as a volunteer in 2016 and 2017. I have no reason to believe that this is an unlikely story, and the storytelling is very captivating as well. It’s a realistic story of the horrors people have gone through, and continue to go through, to save themselves and families. The depressing part is that there are so many more stories like this.
