It's hard to rate this. Did I enjoy reading it? No. Does it have a happy conclusion? No.
What I did learn from it was the foster system in the UK. That is the other thing. I didn't realize before I read the book that it was something that took place in England. Their system is more screwed than the American system for foster care.
It's about an eight year old who is sexually abused and removed from her parents, but that wasn't the reason she was put in foster care. The child has the mentally of a four year old, so I had a difficult time believing the speech indicated by the eight year old in the book. It was too adult. Therefore, I felt the book was more fiction than memoir as it was peddled as such.
