The Girl in Between von Sarah Carroll
I received a complementary uncorrected proof from the publisher. The vibrant story of a homeless mother & daughter as told through the eyes of the young daughter. Through her adventures in finding treasures, making abandoned buildings feel like home, and dealing with an alcoholic mother, readers are able to grasp an understanding of the basic needs of any child: food, shelter, and love.
Surviving in a city with a child and without monetary resources. Find an abandoned building, scavenge for daily necessities, and beg for anything else. Hide so that child services doesn't find you and take away your child. That is the essence of this book. Sad, remorseful, yet full of family love. Recommended for youth struggling for a place to call their own, homelessness, family relationships--especially a mother and daughter, survival in a city.
This book is sad in so many different ways. It shines a spotlight on addiction, parenting on the streets, the relationship between a mother and daughter and how drugs can make someone selfish. No child should live on the streets. I kind of suspected the ending but not until I had about 40 pages to read. Definitely recommend this book. It was such a good story.
I received a copy from Penguin Random House First To Read Program.
