Hidden Girl: The True Story of a Modern-Day Child Slave by Shyima Hall

1.0

The only reason why I finished this is because it was incredibly easy to read. So little of the story was actually about her life as a child slave, it almost felt like false advertising. And honestly, aside from the fact that her parents didn't seem to care much about her one way or the other, it was hard to feel bad for Hall. For a girl who had such a tough childhood, she grew up to be kind of a brat. And then to end with her dropping out of college and having a baby? I just don't know how this story is inspiring enough to warrant a book. Sorry, Hall -- I ain't feelin' it.
