It Is Well with My Soul: The Extraordinary Life of… par Ella Mae Cheeks Johnson
I think there is a tremendous story to be told here but it wasn't. Very light reading. The story could have gotten so much more in depth.
While the vast majority of the book is Johnson’s, Patricia Mulcahy helps pull it together, interweaving family interviews with Ella Mae’s recollections to give a truly interesting view of history. It gets bit preachy in the middle (when she talks about her faith, the Middle East, and politics), but somehow it’s not forceful. Having experienced over a century’s worth of events, Johnson employs a deft balance of perspective and poise. It’s Tuesdays with Morrie without all the schmaltz and cliche.
