I'm on a journey with Astrid. She is a sensitive, quiet girl,she knows how to lay low, stay out of the way, not have needs. Astrid has lived in the shadow of her mother, a great beauty, a mother who calls her own shots and is a force to be reckoned with and she is the moon and the stars to Astrid. Left to navigate alone in the world, her journey is heartbreaking. A well developed story that is hard to put down.
