Betty by Tiffany McDaniel
5.0

Betty. Oh, Betty. From the first review I've read I knew this was the book for me. That I wanted to buy it. That I wanted to read it. Sometimes it's just simple like that. When you feel it, you feel it. There is no escape, cause it just keeps haunting you.

This book broke me to pieces. I had to make pauses while reading. I was upset. I was enraged. I was sad. My mind turned on all of the red lights. But damn, I loved it. I loved the characters (most of them). I loved the way the relationships were presented. The layers of the story. The lessions. About love. About respect. About growing up being different. About nature and Cherokee heritage. And about being a woman. Woman in 1960's.
