My entire heart shatters and heals within this book, it's so powerful and such a heart wrenching glimpse into pain and loss and fear. Choices make us who we truly are and this book takes one splintered family and shows how each one makes choices to survive - but is there more to life than just survival?

lol now i'm being a dick idk i love this book
