Sinopse

Twelve-year-old Brenda lives in a working-class suburb of Detroit, Michigan. She&rsquo,s a good student, popular, and her leadership qualities are obvious. She plays sports, loves to dance, is active with her church youth group, and is a counselor at youth camps.áOn the surface, Brenda is socially, emotionally, and spiritually healthy. On the inside, she&rsquo,s hiding an ugly secret. Brenda is a survivor of rape. Readers of all ages will find themselves drawn into the portrait of this girl&rsquo,s pain and how she heals, both emotionally and spiritually. Her story is educational and engaging.&ldquo,I was hooked &hellip, The story &hellip, addresses the struggles that one who has experienced sexual abuse goes through. From the moment I started the book, I couldn&rsquo,t put it down. (It) is captivating and really pulls at the heartstrings. This is a hard topic to discuss, but this book does an excellent job addressing it. I think this would be a great teaching tool as it really does emphasize that a victim of sexual, or even emotional abuse is not at fault.&rdquo, &ndash, Angelique Korbecki, B.A., Olivet CollegeHopefully, group discussions of this novel will motivate action plans designed to reduce abuse, will initiate examining perceptions of sexuality, and more importantly, will explore what a healthy and ethical sexual self might look like.á&ldquo,I am kind to those who are kind, I am also kind to those who are unkind. Thus, there is an increase in kindness.&rdquo, &ndash, Lao Tzuá
