Description
'The subject is female, age thirteen. She appears to be in good physical health. She is small for her age. Her periods are scanty and irregular. Sexually active ... molested by her mother's employer ... evidently very distraught...'
The social worker's report on Linda records the brutal facts. It attempts to explain Linda's involvement in the murder of one man and the suicide of another. But can the facts really speak for themselves?
Linda doesn't think so and demands to write about her life in her own words. Everyone has their own version of the truth - this is Linda's. It is a ruthlessly honest and unforgettably moving account that challenges readers to make their own judgement on Linda's shocking story.
'Tremendously touching and sad. Brock Cole has found the perfect tone for this very raw and very real novel' New York Times Book Review ISBN:9780330415491
