July 11, 2009: I couldn't put this book down. The writer pulled me into the deep emotional journey of this injured child. The character's innocence made the story believable and heartwrenching. This emotional hurt could only be written by someone who experienced a deep emotional trauma.
I would recommend this book for at risk children and troubled teens as well as troubled adults who need to heal from abuse and trauma.I Also Recommend: Julie & The Lost Fairy Tale.

July 10, 2009: I really appreciated how this book is more than just another recounting of a miserable childhood, but rather, an affirmation of our potential as individuals and the possibility of finding confidence and self-esteem outside of the home. I strongly recommend it for young people who find themselves in a home where they feel unappreciated or unloved. But even older women can benefit by recalling memories of persons who showed a real personal interest in them, be they teachers, counselors or relatives.
