Three Little Words by Ashley Rhodes-Courter
5.0
Where found: I picked this up on a whim in B&N.
Positive: I found this memoir both inspiring and well-written. Ms. Rhodes-Courter's narrative is tightly woven together and extremely detailed. From her move to Florida with her mother and brother to her adoption by the Courters, Ms. Rhodes-Courter is honest and real. Three Little Words makes you want to follow Ashley from the beginning to the end of the novel.
Negative: There weren't many things wrong with this memoir, but I did notice a few little things. 1). Since it was a memoir and only Ashley's side of the story is told, some her biological family members seemed one-dimensional. I wanted to know more about her mother and little sister. I also wanted to point out that, while Ms. Rhodes-Courter's story is sad, she also could've been much worse off. She was adopted by a loving family and given opportunities kids dream of having.
Recommendation: Definitely give this one a try, but buy it in paperback. Also remember to have some tissue handy, especially if you're overly sensitive like my mother, who balled her eyes out while reading this book.
