After re-reading this book while living in MS, I have a whole new appreciation for the author. Gigi did a wonderful job portraying a God-fearing southern girl, and taking you on her heartbreaking journey.
This book is balanced; showing the darkest parts of the world, while also sharing the joyful side too. It gives you hope.

An emotionally difficult read, but well worth reading!! For something similar, [book: The Year of My Miraculous Reappearance] may make a great pairing.

It's hard to believe that a book about such a difficult topic could be uplifting, but it truly is. Georgia's voice rang authentic to me in a way that a lot of protagonist's in these sorts of problem books often don't. The setting also rang so true. It wasn't a hokey "bless her heart" kind of Southern that a lot of people do really badly. All I can say is that the writing, the characters, the setting, everything about it was very authentic for me. Would definitely recommend.
