Helpful Score: 2
A novel about a young girl's emergence into adolescence despite sexual abuse and neglect from her jealous stepfather. The author portrays the main character's mother as a victim. Though it's obvious this woman has led a very difficult life, it's no excuse. Plenty of women endure hardship while raising healthy, happy children. The girl comes from a family of rough characters who attempt to protect their own though they themselves are also victims of their impoverished and uneducated lives. This is a well-written book that focuses on how an innocent child endures and escapes physical and emotional pain on her own.
