Unto These Hills by Emily Sue Harvey
This story follows Sunny when she was just a girl, young teen til she discovers boys in high school.
Her mother had run away from the kids and husband to be with another man and kids were then left with grandmother.
Sunny's other friends are going through trauma also, one was raped by a relative and she had the baby, dropped out of school at 15, another has been molested by a relatvie, etc.
Hard book for me to continue reading as the kids arrive back with the grandmother as she feels she can raise them better then father who's working a lot to support them.
Because of things her mother did others think she's just like her, wild and free and take it upon themselves to help themselves to her.
Glad she finds out about her mother and who raped her, etc. So much abuse from the whole neighborhood, I don't get it...
Emotional, heartbreaking, secrets, abuse... Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse it did.
Received this review copy from The Story Plant and this is my honest opinion.
