"A talented 16-year-old artist slowly discovers the history of domestic violence behind why her brother left the family years earlier and why she suddenly cannot make art"--
There was something really special about this book. I loved the way King told the story. The way it unfolded. I loved how the events, where Sarah first realized there was a problem, but buried it, were told. I loved the parts where mom told her side of the story, and I loved Sarah. Sarah had such an interesting voice, and I hung on her every word, while the story was fed to me, piece by piece. The magical realism aspect was a bonus which I really enjoyed. What an awesome way to reveal past and future to the reader. A fantastic book, which left my heart a little achy, but in a good way.
