Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement

4.0

Still very confused about the blurb of this book. I almost never read them but for some reason did and they described this as “enchanting”. If blurbs are something you typically read, this could not be further from the truth. Nothing enchanting about this book. It’s a pretty hard read about stolen girls in Guerrero, Mexico, and the different things that families do to their daughters to make them stand out less. Kidnappings, rape, sec trafficking, drug trafficking, alcoholism and just general hard living are pretty rampant in this book so just be forewarned going in. I am glad I read it as it is something I wasn’t aware of happening as constant as it does there. Pretty eye-opening.
