Born Blue is about a girl named Janie being sold for drugs for her mom who is a heroin addict. When she was little her mother tried to drown her in the ocean. Later she gets put into a foster home and makes a best friend named Harmon. Harmon only has one thing his father left him which was a old shoe box with only a few old tapes which was what Janie called "the ladies" who she would listen to with Harmon and eventually sing to. She only truly loved two things; to sing along with "the ladies" and Harmon. One day Harmon gets adopted and leaves Janie all alone with one of her favorite tapes. After Harmon leaves, her mother kidnaps her and sells her to a different family for heroin. That day is when Janie's journey begins to find her Harmon and become a famous singer. I loved this book. It starts out a little bit slow but when it speeds up it is very interesting and keeps you reading nonstop. the plot of this story is fantastic and proves to me that anything can happen.
