So great to learn

Hepworth has never disappointed me and this book is no exception. In this story, a young girl loses her family and is put in with a foster mother. Although she is devastated at the loss of her parents, the foster mother seems nice and they become very close. But when the young girl starts school and makes friends there, friends other than her foster mother, things change dramatically. Then other foster children come to live with them, and things for all the children get much worse. It’s a fictional story, but the issues are those of the modern day foster care system. A troubling but gripping read.

Not the best book

It did not really make sense so it was not a good book

I recently stumbled upon the Riot Grrrl history, and listening to Hannah’s memoir was so interesting. While she is best known as the “leader” of the Riot Grrrl movement, this book tells her ENTIRE story. I love when the author reads their own book, and the way she reads it makes it feel more like she’s talking to you than reading the book.

Wow... this was a powerful and intense story, written beautifully by the author. This is the first book I've read by her and will not be my last. She captured the realistic aspects of these nurses who were in the Vietnam War and the indescribable things they saw and dealt with. I'm not really educated about this war but it had me stunned at some of the facts that happened during and after the war, what the nurses and vets went through, how our country was in these times. Never thought I would pick up this book, but because my sister wanted to read it for book club, I did, and I am so glad I did too! Just opened the door for a new genre for me.

What I thought was just going to be a suspenseful read turned into a real twisty story! If you liked "Good Daughter" by Karin Slaughter I think you would like this.

I thought it was good but a little dragged out in places

A wonderful collection of beautifully crafted fairy tales. There is an interesting narrative that is threaded throughout these stories, drawing in characters from seemingly unrelated tales. It's a bit longer than it might have to be, but worth diving into.
