This story was quite different than what the description gave it. From the description I expected some poor girl who couldn't afford her Girl Scout Dues being sent off on some world wind adventure where she had to live off the land and fight bears to survive. Like a modern day "Hatchet". returnreturnInstead I got a story about a poor girl who had to fight child abuse, sexual abuse, broken families, and stupid government employees. returnreturnIt was dark. returnreturnThe story also frequently jumps between the "present' and reading old letters, old social work reports etc. It’s hard to follow on the audio book. My guess is that there would be better hints in the actual book, maybe a different font, or intentions or something. I also really found the voice of the reader annoying, which seems frequent when I hear audio books read by women. That may say more about me than about female readers, I’m not certain. returnreturnRegardless if you are into dark stories about girls fighting sexual abuse by local child care providers, I recommend the actual book, if you aren't into that kind of thing, skip this one.
