In all the years we were together, my mother and I never disagreed. Sometimes you get to a point when you feel that your mother is pushing you in a certain way, and you get fed up and even rebel. I never had that with her. I know now as a mother myself that it was a great gift and privilege that she lived long and that I was able to take care of her and be with her when in her eighties she became weak.The fact that we never had an upsetting word between us is a source of great personal peace.

"I never talked to my mother about the incident, but it taught me profound lessons -- to question myself and assess my actions and then do what is right. My mother did not force her sense of justice and fairness on me -- after all, she could have hit my dirty feet with broom and said, 'Get the hell out of here.' But she didn't. She just let me carry on singing. Her contentment and composure inspired me when I was old enough to appreciate it. Whatever disappointments my mother had, and I am sure she had some, she kept them to herself, a trait I learned to admire as I grew older and, inevitably, accumulated my own."

  这不是一本有趣、传奇的书，是一个“普通”肯尼亚女人的回忆录。她为了家乡，如植物的根一样坚定的、不屈的钻入大地，把自己的一生都奉献给了生她养她的地方。读书的过程是很枯燥的，因为情节太平淡了，但是一直到读完了才发现这段人生震撼之处就在于你觉得主人公絮絮叨叨讲了很多似乎没用的，实际上都是在描绘一棵大树的影子。

  这真是一个超级勇敢的女性。她曾被丈夫抛弃，数次关进监狱，公开与政要甚至是总统抵抗，但最后那些看似不可能的事情竟然都让她搞成功了。

  看她整个奋斗的过程中，坚韧当然是最重要的。没有那样的坚韧怎么能够忍受社会的指责和丈夫的不辞而别。的确，她坚韧得太强势了，以至于当时保守的社会都很难容得下她。但她促成了整个社会的慢慢开放。

  还有一个很重要的一点就是朋友的重要性。没有那些朋友，甚至是海外的重要人物，官方不会对她那么容忍，很可能在某个时候就被处理了。但有那些人在帮她呐喊，给政府施加压力，她的生命至少得到了保障。所以说想干大事前先要做好朋友圈，出了事要找朋友帮忙。

  最后贴上作者的一段话作为勉励：

  I have seen time and again that if you stay with a challenge, if you are convinced that you are right to do so, and if you give it everything you have, it is amazing what can happen.
