It was not life-changing, but I enjoyed it enough to read it in one sitting. First, because Mary Ann Schwalbe was really someone worthy reading about, the kind of person who makes you a bit ashamed of yourself. Maybe I'm being condescending. Maybe you have fought for refugees, raised money for a public library in Afeghanistan and helped in a refugees' camp. I haven't, so I did feel ashamed of myself for my small complaints of everyday life, especially because it doesn't sound as if she felt she was some kind of hero, but only she was privileged enough to be able to help, and did so.
That said, if you enjoy books, it is enough reason to read it; they discuss interesting ones, on different topics such as religion, foreign culture or contemporary fiction, and I ended up with a small list of titles to my TBR.
