COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good Book submitted by Beth Manuel on July 18, 2016, 7:04pm I almost didn't read this but decided to give it a go and I'm glad I did. The young women portrayed were dynamic; with the two main characters alternating voices in each chapter. Each had worthy strengths that allowed them to learn from each other in their first foray of independent living.
