My Thoughts
Oh my word! This book just destroyed me! I am a huge puddle on the ground right now!
This book is certainly beautifully written but my heart can't take it. Not one bit! Anyone that has been around me at all knows that I am an animal lover. My heart breaks each and every time I see a stray running around. I cry if I see a dog chained up outside and it looks the least bit unhappy. So, I'm sure you can imagine what this book did to me.
Here I am, sitting in my classroom (I'm a teacher) reading while my class is on break... sobbing!
Yes, this book is wonderfully written. Yes, the message is extremely important. However, if you don't think that your emotions can handle reading about extreme sadness and neglect.... don't read it! My heart is literally aching right now!
*Note: I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
