A review by asevcik
The Name She Gave Me by Betty Culley

4.5

The emotions I felt in this book were all over the place. There were times I was happy and sad at the same time. I think that is probably a true representation of life in the foster system or for those adopted. I can’t know from experience but the author drew from her own experiences to help shape the story so I am confident they are very real experiences for some.

I was surprised by the writing style and didn’t think I’d like it but I really did enjoy it. I think it worked very well to tell a story from a child’s perspective in a poetic manner.
