BUT BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN. "This book was one that I couldn't put down. Once I started it I knew that it would be one of those that made me want to stay up and finish it. It did not disappoint..." CMH The author did an amazing job at telling the character's story...only a few chapters in I am rooting for these two girls like never before. I rivaled at the characters strengths. It was a beautiful story of strength and endurance. I will remember it for a very long time." -Claire INNOCENT LIVES IS A WELL-WRITTEN BOOK! "I knew after reading Innocent Journeys: Rose and Penny this book would be good. I never imagined how good though! ...I read Go Ask Alice at a way younger age than I probably should have, but it stayed with me and shaped my life as well as many others lives. I think this book will too. -dagaz98
