Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson

This book was amazing and well crafted. Mrs. Anderson takes a difficult topic of teen rape and opens our eyes to the victims point of view. It's heartbreaking to see the negative changes happen to Melinda. She did NOTHING WRONG! Makes you think to as a parent, is my relationship with my children,one that they would feel comfortable talking to us. I hope victims around the world find their voices, so that they too might start to heal!
