Too Young

by Catherine M Vasco

The year was 1959 and fifteen-year old Mary James had been raped by her boyfriend Sam, leaving her pregnant. That would turn the next five years of her young life into fear, abuse, shame and despair. The secrets of betrayal, alcoholism and physical abuse that Mary endured almost daily were kept behind closed doors until there was nowhere to hide anymore. There had to be a way out of this night-mare for her and her children.

This is a powerful book. The way it is written, you can really imagine yourself in Mary’s shoes and you feel every emotion she felt. This brings awareness to the issue of abuse, specifically for young women, and it’s disheartening to know that Mary is not the only one. Stories portraying strong women like this are very important to share.
