This is the story of a young girl born in the south and moved around from house to house so her father is not caught and killed by the Ku Klux Klan. Eventually her father leaves her family for a white woman (how ironic). Her mother decides to move them to the north. So her life begins in Ohio. She comes home one day to find out her mother is moving a boarder into their home. Mr. Boatwright becomes Annette's nightmare. He takes her innocence and makes her life horrible.
Her life is miserable until she meets Rhoda. Annette has low self-esteem because people have called her fat and ugly her whole life. Rhoda changes that and makes her feel pretty. However, Rhoda has her own secrets and causes more harm than good in Annette's life.
This book was good both times that I read it. This is the first book in a series and as soon as I got done with this one I checked out the next one and began reading it. I have to know what happens next.
