Everyone in My Family has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson

There are no words for this book. Wait, nevermind! There are so many words, I just don't know where to start. Martha Ballard was an unsung heroin, that was a pioneer in giving women a voice. So I will use my words to tell you how amazing she was and is in these pages. She has empowered me to keep fighting.  Did you read?  What did you think?  We would love to hear.
