Thank you for commenting, and you are a very strong person to do what you do!inlovewithbooks wrote:I work at a center against domestic violence, and even though I hear personal horror stories every day, it never ceases to impact me. It takes a lot of courage to tell someone about the verbal, physical, and mental abuse. Telling your story is a big step towards healing your body and soul. Great review, thank you for sharing

You are too nice! Thank you so much for the kind words. I really enjoyed The Glass Castle. I've never heard of Stolen, but I will look it up. I do hope you eventually pick up A Turquoise Life. It's a good one!Leon Durham wrote:Woa, super awesome review alert! I'm not sure, but I think this is the first time I read a review by you. Great work. Love everything about it. You're an awesome writer. On the book, I would like to give it a whirl. I actually have The Glass Castle in my to read list. I'll be reading it in a few weeks. I've read another memoir like this called Stolen, in which a little girl is abducted and raised by her kidnapper. Sorry to say I don't remember the name of the author though. It's a great book.

Thank you! I have seen that cover on the book so many times when I walked into Barnes and Noble. I just ordered it! I'll let you know when I'm done!Leon Durham wrote:Hey again, just got the author's name. Lucy Christopher.
