The Forgotten Girls: A Memoir of Friendship and Lost Promise in Rural America by Monica Potts

3.0

This was a tough one to read because it reminded me so much of the town where I live. An over abundance of drugs readily available, families living far below the poverty line, little to no job availability, no real resources or help, and other tough circumstances just seems to have the cards stacked against some people. Why some beat the system and get out while others fall prey to trouble will always force me to examine our society to try to understand.

There were times that the story felt a little slow, but it still brought a lot of interesting points to the forefront that we should be collectively examining to try to make some changes.
