I’ve of two minds on this story from today’s New York Times Magazine. On the one hand, Helene Cooper is a captivating writer who tell a compelling story of both Liberia and her family. On the other, the excerpt feels like an excerpt and left me mostly wishing that they’d published the book and not a part of it. If you can accept that the story ends too abruptly, and that the book won’t be out until September, I do recommend it.
