It’s an emotional story because we can tell that the main character is just doing her best to survive while facing so many dark obstacles.
Definitely check the content warnings on this one.

The Last thing to Burn is the heartbreaking tale of a woman's struggle to retain her personhood in the face of modern slavery. When her daughter is born, her resolve changes to desperation.
It's a phenomenal story, well-told, with interesting characters and easily-accessible language.
Highly recommend.
