My Thoughts:
This is one of the saddest books that I've ever read. It is especially sad because it is nonfiction. When you read this, you will question, "How can a mother treat her child this way?" However, it does give voice to the many children that face abuse. It also makes you reflect on how you treat others...especially your peers at school. You never know what a person my be going home to in the afternoon. Your smile and kind words may be the only ones they get all day.
