Read it in one sitting. Another "Can't Put It Down" story. I had the "secret" figured out pretty early in the book but had to stay with it for the main character to figure it out. A very sad story overall, but the writer did an excellent job writing from the perspective of an abused 8 year old. Highly recommend it! ( ) no reviews | add a review

Fiction.
Literature.
HTML: In many ways, Carrie Parker is like any other eight-year-old--playing make-believe, going to school, dreaming of faraway places. But even in her imagination, she can't pretend away the hardships of her impoverished North Carolina home or protect her younger sister, Emma. As the big sister, Carrie is determined to do anything to keep Emma safe from a life of neglect and abuse at the hands of their drunken stepfather, Richard--abuse their momma can't seem to see, let alone stop. But after the sisters' plan to run away from home unravels, Carrie's world takes a shocking turn--and one shattering moment ultimately reveals a truth that leaves everyone reeling.
