She shares about entering the CIA as a young adult, how her career progressed, working undercover, and how her personal life was impacted.
I gave it 4 stars because I found her writing engaging, particularly as she describes her work. Her story definitely made me more curious about how she was really doing with the challenges she faced in her personal life-she alludes to the difficulties, but doesn't go there a lot.
Overall it was a good read. It got me thinking about how what we believe about our identity is significant to how we live. Living under pretence as she did was difficult and it's interesting that sometimes we do the same thing as we try to keep up appearances in our own worlds.
Note, this is written for general market, so there's some language and mentions of sex....more
