A hard book to read; so much trauma packed into such a young girl's life. Also a tale of hope and strength, just be careful.

I don't think I can write a coherent review, when some parts were unexpectedly triggering. (For the record, I do NOT blame the author.)

I'll just say that it's a powerful and ultimately hopeful book, and I am glad to have read it.
