Blackbird: A Childhood Lost and Found

** spoiler alert **
The book must have been on my shelves for at least a decade before I picked it up. I had no idea what a treasure it is. I found it on one of those "take a book, leave a book" shelves at the gym. It looked brand new and never read. I was completely sucked in and could not put it down. This book will make you never feel sorry for yourself again. It is hard to imagine a young child going through life where no one helped her, not even her own family - specifically - her brother. I suppose that he had his own battle to fight. It brings to light a great deficit in our society, the fact that people are often wrapped up in themselves and turn a blind eye to other's - specifically this suffering child. The book leaves you wanting more. It leaves you with countless questions. It leaves you hating a woman by the name of Deb, but somehow the author found forgiveness, and you know this by her wishing things could have been different as she looks at Deb for the last time. I finished 400 pages in 2 days.
