Review:
This book was easy to get into and it was good to read how Edna
overcome everything that happened to her and l think she is very
brave and she loves her children even though one of their father's
raped her but she just sees her beloved child.I was sent this book by
bostick communications l really enjoyed this book and l did find some
bits upsetting and l could not believe Edna's mother didn't want to
take her to the hospital after her boyfriend raped her at the age of
5 he made Edna his little sex slave. I was upset that she was gang
raped at 16 years old. Edna went though so much and she is still here
to tell the tale and her story and l was sad to read that her
grandmother died.it's good to read that she is getting a master's
degree and that she is talking to her mum again. I want to say thank
you to the author for sending me this book l would highly recommend
this book to anybody and it's a must have on your bookshelf l am
happy this book is in my library and I would tell people that you
should step outside your comfort zone with books because it's good to
add more authors and genres to your reading portfolio even if you
don't read books like this and this book was sent to me for a honest
review if l could rate this book more then five stars l would.
Star
