Christ this book depressed me. There is something about the way Elizabeth Flocks writes that I really enjoy...although I find her books incredibly depressing...I just keep reading.

I made the mistake of bringing this book on vacation with me, I would advise against that for anyone else that might read this book.

I liked this book, it was very painful to read what this little girl withstood. But I felt the ending was too abrupt. It was still a very compelling read.

I started reading this book on 07/07/2009. I finished this book on 07/12/2009.

This book was kind of weird for me. I didn't really get into it till about 100 pages in. I usually don't give a book that long but I did this one. The twist that was close to the end was kind of crazy but in a good way. Overall I rated this book a 2 star.

I again don't remember who recommended this book, but it wasn't what I expected. The book is narrated by Caroline, and eight year old girl. She and her younger sister Emma are working through their fathers death and mothers remarriage. I think the book did a really good job being told from the point of view of an eight year old. A lot of disturbing stuff was also in the book, it made me think about how helpless children can be and how badly they need to be advocated for. I was surprised at the end, I wasn't reading deeply into the book, and now I am thinking back to see what clues were there to indicate what eventually happened.
