Begging for Change
Category: realistic
Raspberry lives with her mother and is trying to forget about her drug-addicted father. Things change in her life when her mother is attacked and is put in the hospital and her father reappears into her life. Raspberry hopes and begs for change in her father’s life.
I thought this book was excellent. Once you get into it is a really fast read. It brings out every emotion inside of me.
Read it and tell everyone you know to read it.
