This is not the sort of book I usually read, but it is one of those books that has had a profound effect on me. I keep thinking about the life that Judy had and it seems to put my petty little problems into perspective.
It is a true story about a girl who is abused and treated like an animal by her parents - she keeps her belief in herself and in spite of the travels and the tribulations, she finds inner strength to go on.
A wonderful book, but very difficult to read - I kept having to put it down and walk away as it was hard to keep reading it due to the content although I wanted to know what happened. It is distressing in parts and I kept thinking, "How could someone do that to a child?"
Depressing and uplifting at the same time - depressing that people can do such things to each other, and uplifting that the human spirit can overcome such adversities.
