colten says: There is at least one disturbing contradiction. At the beginning of the book, we are told that Carey's Mama was paid $20 to let men visit the camper and have sex with Carey even though she was a young child. Years later when she is a teenager and after the meth dealer rapes her, Carey says "I reckon Mama would say I'm a woman now." Also it is amazing how many of the single mothers had abusive husbands or no husbands ever. There is never an explanation of why the wonderful Melissa had... her daughter Delaney assume the name of her second husband. Or was there never a first husband. shelby says: If You Find MeBy Emily MurdochIn my opinion the author’s writing style was clear. I could tell what was happening and who was talking during the chapters. The arguments were mostly clear. The author kept the book well balanced and not one sided with the arguments with each character. In my opinion the way the author set the book up was amazing. On how they were in the woods then how the father found them to the two girls adjusting to life outside the woods was just great. The author didn’t drag the story on, the author kept the pace. The author’s word choice was amazing she used words that were so describing.Just reading the first two chapters I could tell that the author is very inspiring and very compassionate. The author’s tone is sad and cheerful at the same time. The main character has to face a horrible childhood hands on. Carey must figure out why her Mom left her and why she was kept in the Hundred Acre Woods. To me the author was always positive throughout the whole book. What I found most appealing is the Imagery because the author made it so clear and vivid in my mind. I would recommend this to anyone who like to use imagery and would want to read a great book and to anyone who likes to pay attention to the author’s word choices.MoreLessRead More Read Less
I have never appreciated books without sequels, but W.O.W! I have never been able to stick with only one book but she had me hooked until the end. I will accept a sequel happily even though it was not part of the deal. Maybe the mom could come back. Who knows? 10/10!

I seriously cannot get over this book. I read it in a matter of hours. I lived with Carey in those woods, I fought her battles internally as she she fought them. I recommend this to anyone looking for a good book.
