'Writer! You are going to starve!'

But with a pen in her hand, she can't help but wonder what it would be like to be a writer - no, an author! It won't be easy, but Adeline must have the courage to rewrite her story. . .

This is literally the most depressing childhood story I have ever read and her step-mom was a huge bird in the church hall. The way The author tells it makes it more compelling to read and I could barely put this book down. I think that the worst character was actually third brother, because of the way that he pretended to hate adeline when around the other siblings and parents but was kind to her in the back. He should have just studk to one side.It made me sad because I know that there are millions of kids who are just as unwanted or treated badly just look at the book [b:Sold|201114|Sold|Patricia McCormick|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1404788045s/201114.jpg|3231932]. Anyway, this was a book one should prepare to cry over.
