ghiblies's review against another edition
5.0
In the book's acknowledgements Lisa says, "Brutality is an inescapable inheritance of humanity. But so is love. As terribly as we can be hurt, so deeply can we be healed. And we cannot stand alone." And I can think of no better way to describe this book, this is the very essence of Alethea's painful, but optimistic story. This book has burned itself into my heart where I know it will stay for the rest of my life.
