She was mugged, raped and assaulted with a flower pot to the head. The result was more than a year in a come. Bad as that was, she was pregnant and unable to make any decisions regarding her situation. Instead, she became a pawn between competing parties as to the future of her fetus. This book examines how all of the above affected Mallie and everyone around her that loved her. There are some wonderful moments as well as a lot for the reader to think about, making it a great read. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
"Twenty-one-year-old Mallie Williams - scrappy, headstrong, and wise beyond her years - has just landed on her feet following a tumultuous youth when the unthinkable happens: she is violently assaulted. The crime leaves her comatose, surrounded by friends and family who are hoping against hopes for a full recovery. But soon Mallie's small community finds themselves divided. The rape has left Mallie pregnant, and while some friends are convinced that she would never keep the pregnancy, others are sure that a baby would be the only good thing to come out of all of this pain. Who gets to decide? How much power, in the end, do we have over our own bodies? Mallie, her family, and her town find themselves at the center of a media storm, confronting questions nobody should have to face. And when Mallie emerges from the fog, what will she think of the choices that were made on her behalf?"--Provided by publisher. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
