I loved this book! I first got hooked on Libby Hellman's first series with Ellie Foreman. After finishing that one, I jumped right into the first Georgia Davis book and embraced all those characters as well. But when Nobody's Child came out, I leap-frogged over the rest of the series to it, which is fine because these books stand on their own.
Why I liked this book... The characters are so well-crafted and you really care about (or despise them) depending on which one. They are real people with human flaws and foibles. Hellmann gives us just enough description so that we feel we are watching a movie, but not too much so that you want to skim. Her writing is really tight and each chapter leaves you wanting the next.
With this book, be prepared to be taken to places you'll never want to go or see (sex-trafficking), but become enthralled with nonetheless. The only problem for me is that I feel a sense of sadness that the book is over. Can't wait for your next book, Libby!
