Betty
by Tiffany McDaniel
Wow. That was a special book. One that will stay with me for a lifetime.
Beautiful, poetic, tragic and full of pain and sorrow. Betty is such a haunting story full of pain, but also magic and most importantly life.
It tells the life of Betty Carpenter and her family - her Cherokee dad, Landon and her mother Alka and all of her brothers and sisters.
The family travels a lot before returning to the town of Breathed, Ohio and setting up a permanent home there.
I'm not ashamed to admit I cried more than once whilst reading this book. It deals with some awful topics and it's very intense. But it is just so beautiful.
The characters, their relationships, the descriptions of the town are so full of life that you feel like you're there. There are even excerpts from the towns newspaper - The Breathanian - scattered throughout the book.
Reading Betty was an experience. And unlike anything I've read in so long. I don't want to say too much about it for fear of spoiling it for anyone that will read it. Because you should. Everybody should.
I can't express properly how much I loved Betty. A star rating just doesn't feel appropriate.
