Well said, Amina! Thank you!
I have this one on my shelf and keep forgetting to read it as new books come in from the library. Great review - I have to get to it

Thanks, Jennifer! Yeah, this one has been published a few years ago. I do add new books to my WTR list every once in awhile, but most books on my list are oldies but goodies!
I love your niggles here, Debbie. Didn't even think about it, but you are so right! Thank you for this wonderful review of this heart-wrenching book. ☺️

Thanks, Yun! So many sad tales about mistreatment of children.
This one really does stick with a person. Something I never knew about before reading this. I often recommend it to people.

I hope you do, Tina! I totally understand all the positive reviews it has received since publication.

Yes, and unfortunately, tragedies just keep happening. Is it also tragic that we are always drawn to reading about such things?
