This is the story of Jennifer Lauck as she goes from cherished daughter to throw-away child. What is particularly poignant is that Lauck is able to speak from the heart of a child, while telling a compelling story which kept me riveted, as I believe it would most adults. Losing both her parents early in life, her mother to botched cancer surgery when Lauck was six, her father a few years later to a sudden heart attack, is bad enough.

Without giving away any spoilers, although she did have family who could take her in, obstacles had to be overcome before that could happen. And even when they were, things weren't quite what she thought they would be. I am currently reading the sequel, Still Waters. From the description of that book, Jennifer had more trauma to endure before finally finding some success in work and in life.
