Re: [BOLDBookClub] Monique and the Mango Rains - let the discussion begin!

It was a hard book for me to read because it was so sad how poverty stricken the people were and of course how Monique dies was extra sad due to all the good she had done. 
But it was interesting to read.  I was hoping for something a bit more uplifting.
