The tragic death of a parent, physical and sexual abuse, and depression. It is told from the perspective of 8 year old Carrie Culver (Parker), including fantastic southern dialogue. You almost feel like you are 8 and reading the thoughts of this little girl. I loved the way this character refers to distance in Barbie lengths. This was a sad reminder of how poorly children are treated. This is not a feel good book. I was left feeling depressed and saddened. It was a good read but the images will be left with you for days if not for life. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/313805?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
