Reviews

2014 Finalist Association for Mormon Letters Award - Young Adult General Novel category

"Perry deftly avoids the probelm-novel label thanks to complex characters and a well-structured plot. Joy's story is very affecting, and her voice is suitably self-effacing without being ostentatious; most readers will be engrossed."--Kirkus Reviews

"Perry manages to convey Joy's gradual growth without resorting to pamphlet-speak, but moreover she offers a portrait, rare in YA, of the way compassionate, functional families work and the good effects they can produce."--The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Perry's descriptions of Joy's intense turmoil are vivid...a moving survival story."--Booklist

"This is moving, horrifying and at times difficult to read, but the timeliness of the story and hopes for Joy to be whole, keep the reader engaged."--Library Media Connection

"While the subject matter is tough, this realistic title will draw teens in with its believable characters, including the well-written portrayal of the adult protagonists."--School Library Journal
