Lucky: A Memoir

Rating:
Summary: So Lucky
Review:
There are several books out there at the moment that tell the truth without sensationalising what really happens during any time of abuse to a child/teen. Rape is a form of abuse, no less than child abuse,incest,or molestation. This book, LUCKY, and then NIGHMARES ECHO and A CHILD CALLED IT. If you have a chance to read the three books you will come away with the understanding of the mind of the victim and the difficulty in overcoming what is put upon thier shoulders. More than that, you realize just how fragile a childs life is and yet they have more courage and determination to survive than many of the people I know that have never dealt with a terrible past. I belive this book stands out, it is extrememly well done without going overboard. The emotions are strong. Extremely good book.

Summary: Very moving
Review: I read Lucky for my senoir english class and really enjoyed it. It is brutal and honest, and would help any reader better understand rape and what happens to a person who experiences such a horrible thing. It is very well written and riveting
