I dare you not to feel something for Jessie and her story. I was so fascinated by Jessie's story that I read this book in two days. The deeper that I got into Jessie's story; my heart broker for her. However at the same time I was memorized by the big stories that she told Torey.
Jessie's story tugged at my heart. Her story was filled with abuse. She just wanted someone to love her. Torey helped Jessie to find her voice. As Torey shows it the journey is a long one filled with tons of patience, an open mind, care, love, and knowing the ultimate goal is to find a "forever home".
There were times when I was shocked by Jessie's behavior and the stories she told but as I learned more abut her "true" story; I understood better why she acted the way she did. This book is worth your time to read.

En otroligt gripande skildring från författarinnas arbete med utsatt barn. Jessie som ständigt ljuger i sin tillvaro, sätter de vuxna runt omkring henne i oro. När Torey Hayden länge har försökt att få Jessie att öppna upp sker ständiga förändringar och arbetet förlängs. Men trots omständigheterna och svårigheterna med allt, så är det värt att kämpa för ett barn och deras trygghet.
Något obekväm med de sexuella termerna och ordvalen inom genitals men utöver det var det intressant, från ett psykologiskt perspektiv.
