Wow, readers, this book really broke my heart. It manages the nearly impossible task of making us feel hopeless and making us feel like there is always hope in the world, even if it's hard to see. It was sort of a tough read but it was also an interesting look into a community I personally knew little to nothing about. There is a character that I want to pluck out of this book and just hand a whole new life. I think this character will live in my head for a long time. Recommended.
