This was such an inspiring book to read. The childhood she endurded made her stronger and shaped who she is today and that says a lot about her! I was horrified that a mother could treat her child in the manner that hers did, I guess what really impressed me was how Sam handled her mother later in life, after she was grown and out of her reach. I must say she is a brave young woman and a true inspiration!! I wish her and her family all the best!

I would give this book 10 stars if I could!
I can't believe a mother would put her own child through the things that Sameems mom put her through. This is one of the most heartbreaking books I have ever read. She was given more love from the staff at a childrens home than she recieved from her owm family.
I don't want to say to much about the book and spoil it for others, but I will tell you, once you pick this book up you wont want to put it down!
