Author:Harmony Brookes
Genre: Autobiography
This book is a true story written by the author called Harmony Brookes. Here she talks about her horrible upbringing from not being wanted at birth to then being abused in ways unimaginable throughout her childhood and teenage years….
Pro’s- From the first paragraph you will be hooked onto this book, when I got the book I didn’t think this is what I would be getting and it was well written as well. You feel the pain and it’s shocking that someone could actually put someone else through all that. A child at that, it also showed me these things do happen and people will turn blind eye to it. Social workers, doctors, teachers even family.
Also it made me appreciate the childhood I was fortunate enough to have and the problems and things I worry about are nothing compared to what she and many other children I dread to think have to go through.
It’s really an eye opener and I believe will open your mind more not to just see what’s in front of you but to try to go deeper in search of why they might act like they do. Also in this story all she wanted was a person to be nice and treat her nicely and it makes me think about life and the people we might mean to, ignore or even laugh at, how will that affect their lives? What if you were that one person who was nice to them, who listened to what they said and actually asked questions like how are you? Or why are you mad?
I don’t know, I am just going on and on but it was a very interesting and eye opening book. It was quite vivid and explicit and I found myself shocked that a human can actually do that to a child….
Cons- I cannot fault this book but if you are quite sensitive then I would not recommend this.
