A review by corkykat
The Education of Dixie Dupree by Donna Everhart
5.0
I received a free copy of this novel in a goodreads giveaway, and I'm happy to give an honest review.
Let me just say that this book earned all five stars. It was powerful and important, and if you choose to read it (which you should) Dixie will stay with you forever. Dixie as a character shows us the meaning of strength, and is empowering in her resilience through immense trials and her quick, sharp wit. The novel is well written with incredible character and setting development. I appreciated the author's skill in writing flawed characters, and she successfully portrays abuse, cruelty, and loss through a child's eyes. The book does have mature themes, and is not very cheerful, but I would highly recommend it.
