Interesting story of how a girl overcomes child abuse. Sad in places, made me extremely mad in places, but was an enjoyable read.

This almost got a 2 star. The story was really good, but I didn't care for the writing too much. I felt it was a little repetitious and to over the top with the nicey nice stuff.
