It's weird, I feel like I've heard of this book before but I just never read it? Not sure if that makes sense..
Sounder was a book that brought on the emotional choo-choo train for me. There's just something about dogs that makes me cry and I don't know what to do. Or maybe I just picked one emotional book after another.. and that was just not the right thing to do. Either way, I dove into it and I most definitely cried.
In it, you will meet a boy who lost his father and dog in the same day. Their dog, Sounder, always went hunting with him and his father. So the day that his father gets arrested for stealing.. is the day that their dog was shot.
At this point, I took a breather. I have no idea how I would react to this sort of situation if I was in it. Probably would've gone ham on the cops.. but that's just me.
After his dad was taken away, the house is just silent. Sounder is badly injured and doesn't make a sound anymore. His mother talks about some serious topics and tells him it's just the fear talking. She tries her hardest but it just isn't enough for him.
Along the way, we get snippets of cruelty and suffering. Whether it was physical or emotional pain, my heart hurt. This book dove into so many deep topics that just opened my eyes a bit more because it's nothing something I've ever gone through.
In the end, this book was just amazing. Simply amazing.
