This book is INCREDIBLE!! I read it at LEAST 5 times and every time I read it, its toture trying to tear me away. I found myself getting involved emotionally every time, tearing up, getting angry, frustrated and many other emotions. I recommend this book to all! Teenagers and adults alike!

I could hardly put this book down. It presented the emotions of a woman who finds herself pregnant after being raped so well, I found myself emotionally involved. Great reading and highly recommended.
