By Chris Bohjalian
Audiobook format
This incredible story is about a teenage girl who simultaneously becomes homeless and orphaned. The circumstances that occur instantly transform her life. She is definitely a survivor but one that has made some very bad choices along the way. One can almost understand why she has made these bad choices - from her point of view they were the right thing to do.
Chris Bohjalian is a bestselling author that has written seventeen books, a number of which have been made into movies. This Book on CD is read by the author’s daughter, a fact disclosed during the interview with the author at the end of the story.
This story was a little hard to continue on reading at the beginning; the use of bad language that is typical of some teenagers was a negative for me. I’m very glad I chose to ignore the “bad language” and continue because this was an outstanding book. It challenged me to think about some real life tragedies that frankly we all should spend more time thinking about.
