The Dead Pennies by Robert Ford

3.0

This book was different from others I've read in that it focused on a facility for sick or "discarded" children. It's not a subject I've come across, but I feel like somewhere out there, these types of situations actually happen..
It was interesting to read about Abby's journey and how she made it through a tough time in her life. The sorrow that Cora Jean felt because of her part in the story jumped out of the book and made me feel quite the same. While I enjoyed the book, it took quite a while to get to the Dead Pennies. I'd have enjoyed a bit more details about this part of the story.
