I recommend this book for anyone pursuing a Certification like CWNA, CWNP or other wireless certifications. Her family & friends were very supportive and that helped, but she really is a superwoman as far as mental and physical toughness.
The story was riveting and the pictures were horrendous. I was growing-" Matthew interrupted to tell the artist that he was on time, but he met someone in the hall. There is no doubt that this is an amazing story of survival. The two of them start researching the building where Sky lives and find out it's connected to Sky.
