The author of this book did an excellent job collecting material and researching it. It is a very well documented trace of the life of the greatest philosopher of all time. It contains correspondence between her and family, friends, publishers and politicians. The only thing a reader should think about is that it is almost a necessity to familiarize oneself with the books about Objectivism first.
I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading Objectivist books and who would like to know more about the philsophys founders personal life. As an immigrant to America I recognize many obstacles and issues which she faced when moving to America.
