4.9/5 (15153 ratings)

Description:The world is a dangerous place for a girl child, or so says Oprah Winfrey's character in the film "The Color Purple." Trouble is know-it-all girls like Bria don't understand that -- until it's too late. And sometimes not even then.She yearns for what all children should have: love and a home. Passed around her extended family, the "nobody nobody wants," no sooner does she find herself a place in this world than her life dissolves before her eyes, time and time again. Feisty, precocious, opinionated, stubborn and full of life, Bria would tell you good fortune is having one person you can always count on through thick and thin. For her, that’s Jack. And it doesn’t matter to her that she’s nine and he’s twenty-three, not one bit, though everyone else in her world disagrees. Poor Jack, the eldest of five sons born to a domineering, demanding father, decent, moral and full of his own demons, he's ill-equipped to deal with a troublesome girl-child, but bless him, he'll try. Thankfully he has Aunt Mary to keep it all in line. Though she would say that's an impossible task.When, at the age of twelve, Bria disappears, Jack and his Aunt Mary search for her, and when she surfaces, he fights to become her guardian with no idea of the trials and tribulations ahead of him. By then, Bria is thirteen going on thirty, full of her own ideas on how her life should run and with some very fixed notions about who is in charge. New York Times bestselling author, Kathryn Lynn Davis, writes: “This is a tender, wrenching, funny, brilliantly written novel about so many kinds of courage, so many layers of beauty and strength, and the bonds of family (however unique they may be) that help us survive even the worst life makes us suffer." Readers alert: This story deals with the reality of domestic violence and child sexual abuse. One or two scenes may be upsetting for those sensitive to these subjects.Finalist in the National Indie Excellence award for literary fiction in 2011.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
