Reviews

"Another thing Bellon did that I particularly enjoyed was take an unabashed look at class structures in America. Roshell, a girl from a trailer park who is forced to look after her cousins and has no male role models in her life makes for a perfect glimpse into America's other half, especially as that other half continues to grow in size." - Robert Devenuti, HaveUHeard.net (Celebrity News) "Well this book definitely embraced me and I certainly embraced it back! A rollercoaster of emotions takes you through the ins and outs of this novel as you unravel the world alongside Roshell as maturation takes place. A beautiful novel from a talented author." - Epona Reviews Reader reviews on GoodReads: "WOW. A profoundly emotional book." "This was such an amazing book! It has twist and turns that you won't see coming. A truly emotional yet comical journey. Once you pick it up, you won't want to set it down." "The book is so well written that I was feeling all emotions." "It tackles some difficult subject matter and manages to still be funny and hopeful. I was hooked from the start."
