I was blown away by the depth of emotions (both love and hate) for the various characters in this book! Wonderful growth of MC, Ada, from beginning to end. It was fun to watch her gain internal and external strength. Now THIS is a "good read", don't you think?

Amy I wish I could give it 6 stars. I loved everything about it.

Does this book have anything do do with bad things happening to animals? Bc if so I don't want to read it. :(

Kimberly Bradley No. I promise. All the animals turn out fine.

Is anyone else having a difficult time believing the cruelty of the mother (Mam) towards Ada?

Elizabeth This is an incredibly well-crafted book. Yes, Mam's cruelty is extreme, but--having known a few people like this myself--all too believable.…moreThis is an incredibly well-crafted book.
