Through her eyes, the moving story of a young Rwandan girl born with clubfeet and the risk she takes for the chance to walk on the bottoms of her feet for the first time.Rebeka Uwitonze was born in Rwanda with curled and twisted feet, which meant she had to crawl or be carried to get around. At nine years old, she gets an offer that could change her life. A doctor in the US might be able to turn her feet. But it means leaving her own family behind and going to America on her own. Her Own Two Feet tells Rebeka's inspiring story through her eyes, with the help of one of her hosts. She travels from Rwanda to Austin, Texas, to join the Davis family, despite knowing almost no English. In the face of dozens of hospital visits and painful surgeries, Rebeka's incredible bravery and joyful spirit carry her to the opportunity of a lifetime. A stunning debut about hope, perseverance, and what becomes possible when you take a risk.

Bouncy and cool
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
I had been searching for a new pillow for weeks, but nothing was calling to me. So many go flat far too fast, and most cooling pillows are lumpy as can be. This one is perfect. Doesn't go flat, gives me comfortable support, and actually keeps cool longer than the average pillow

Needs to outgas for a day or two and then its great.
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
Needs to outgas for a couple days, ideally outside on a clothes line. Having said that its the first pillow out of a half dozen Ive bought in the last 18 mos that I can sleep on. Sleeping much better and longer now. Latex foam is the only pillow for me. I swear I searched on here a year or so ago and could not find one.

Goldilocks pillow
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
I tried 5 different latex pillows, 2 from this brand. Most had to much loft and were too firm. This brand has one called extra soft that was comfortable but a little too soft. BUT, I could tell the latex was better so I tried this one. It strikes the perfect balance of support and is not too firm. Compared to all the other brands I would call this one soft/medium as all others "medium" were pretty firm.
This one is just right!

Perfect supportive soft pillow
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
The perfect pillow that is hypoallergenic. It’s soft but your head doesn’t sink through. Supportive and soft at the same time. Have bought more pillows.

Very firm pillow
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
I'm not sure I received the same pillow as advertised. The pillows I received are extremely firm. I would not classify it as medium. It was also not covered by a cotton case. it had a very sheer gauze like material covering the latex.
