At moments, this was a tough book to read. You feel dirty at times, witnessing the abuse these two girls, their grandmother and their aunt suffered through the book. It almost felt wrong to read it. But there is a message there. Moving forward is possible. You won't feel it at that moment, in that space in time, but it is there. Just like it was for Misty. She took that power into her own hands. She is a voice for all of those silenced victims in the Amish community. As a worldly person, I am left wondering how we as a people can allow this to continue. If you read this book, you will be affected. You will probably ask how people can turn a blind eye based on religion. I did, at least. I read my Bible every single day, and the teachings I learn from God within that book say nothing about abuse and being a sexual predator. At least there is a happy ending to the story.

I can't really say anything that hasn't been said already. I do have a confession- this is the first time I've read Little Women. Sure, I've seen multiple adaptations. Greta Gerwig's version that recently came out made me realize I had never read the book. When Romance-opoly called for a YA book considered a classic I knew I had to read this one. I thought it was interesting reading what scenes didn't make it to the various adaptations. It's interesting to see what each version chooses to highlight from the source material. Recommended.
I read this Romance-opoly Beau Boulevard moon track

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a short story written by a woman who had a psychotic break from having absolutely nothing to do in life.

I received a complimentary Kindle copy in an Amazon promotion. That did not change my opinion for this review.

I gave it four stars.

"This work is considered an important early work in feminist literature and one which explored issues about women’s health, both physical and mental."
