This book appealed to my love of time travel books without actually being about time travel. Alice learns to live in her current world without knowing what happened over the previous 10 years and how those events shaped her life. She realizes she has a "do over" on some things, if she chooses to do so.

Heart-wrenching account of racial tension spoken from a teenager's perspective. ~ Kelly M.
I'd suggest this book to someone that has questions regarding vaccines (i.e. history, manufacturing, safety, etc.). I felt this was an unbiased view towards the vaccine debate; both sides were presented to help individuals/families determine what is best for them/the community. ~ Mary T.
The author's experience as a poet shines through in this book. Whereas the beginning is highly descriptive of her surroundings, feelings, and family, the end hits you with the hard cold facts. It took many years before the daughter could read the details of her mother's murder by her stepfather. The evidence does most of the talking at the end of the book, and with it comes the realization that her mother did everything right in terms of the steps an abused woman should take when leaving her abuser - making a plan, going to a shelter, notifying police, providing evidence, and even so it was not enough. ~ Linda J.
