A remarkable read.
A remarkable read about a teenage girls transformation and Gods place in the school system. Lopez’ writing has an easy flow that made this story effortlessly enfold in my mind as I read. Her character Hope, suffers an accident that changes her, more like reforms her. She finds God after this event, and she begins to pray in school. Her peers pick on her and even assault her for it. It was heart wrenching to “watch” her and her family go through all of that. But even through tough times, some good is bound to peek its head out. This trauma in some ways helps unite her family. I found the ending satisfying and highly recommend this book.
