This book is a really good book. It is a story about a young boy around 10 years old who gets abused by his mother. This book is very sad because of the large amount of detail that the author puts into it. There are times when the boy is telling his story that I could almost get sick because of how graphic it is. This book, however, really helps me see how much things I take for granted in my life. These things make me appreciate the simple things in life so much more. The little boy in the story is a very strong boy. He endures so much pain physically, mentally, and emotionally. When I read this story, it makes me realize that if a little fragile child can survive abuse, then I can get through any problem that I may come across.
