My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is a well-written, poignant story that beautifully and powerfully illustrates the importance of loving, caring parents. Anna was abandoned by hers in her childhood, leaving her to be raised in the foster care system. The reader meets Anna as an adult, but with flashbacks, the story of her childhood unfolds. Heroes in her life love her and nurture her, but it isn’t until the end of the book that she finds closure from her past. There are so many beautiful lessons and people in this story. It dragged a bit in the middle, but the ending made it worth powering through. I give it 3 ½ stars. Bad language, as always, brings my rating down.
