I never heard anything about the Mirabel sisters until know. Reading this book it gave me mixed feelings. There was a point when I was like go for it be daring make a difference and then at the same I wanted them not to do anything at all but live their lives as normal people and stay safe. Then a question came to mind. What is being normal? Is there just one definition or are there many. It seems like from the beginning they knew they had a purpose. They had a calling you can say. Even though one sister might have held it off it caught up with them all eventually. These sisters were brave women, women that should be looked up to; Women that everyone should know about. Women deserve to make a stand; they deserve to have a voice. Why aren’t enough women heard? Why can’t we be what they teach about in school more. Is it better to face death knowing you didn’t do everything you wanted out of fear or is it better to face death knowing you yourself made a difference. I look at these sisters as women of power. I know they didn’t officially have power by law but they made their own sense of power.I believe the author wanted this to been a story heard all over the world. They author felt that these women story is too unknown . That the world needs to know what people go through and not only who or what the government wants us to know. We need to know what the people from other countries go through. We need to know what dangers lifestyles women face so when we question why would they want to come to the U.S and live like us we know the real answer.
