review 1: Absolutely fantastic first novel by Dianna Estill. Such a great find! Renee had a rough life getting pregnant at the age of 15, but I am so proud when she makes a hard decision to leave her abusive husband. What happens next is heart-breaking & I cannot imagine it happening to any mother, but she pulls through, makes a life for herslef, and I especially love that it is not your typical fairy-tale ending. I highly recommend it!!
review 2: Diana Estill told a very moving story of an uneducated girl (Renee) in north Texas who at age 15 got pregnant by Kenny, a boy she met at a skating rink. That was 1976 and there were no other choices for Renee than to quit high school and live in poverty with Kenny, who became very abusive and their son Sean. At this time in hi... morestory women who were in abusive marriages had no support or shelters to go to, and this details how that affected not only her life forever, but that of her son. The writing style and characters in Renee's life came alive in the book. Reading it, you not only feel sorry for Renee, but for Kenny and their two families. They were all a product of their upbrining and stuck in a spiral of poverty that was difficut to escape. The story was an easy read, depressive yet uplifting. less
