Finding Evie

Viac o knihe

I'm sure we all must have told ourselves, at least once while growing up, that life couldn't possibly get worse. As Rod Serling, host of the ancient TV show, *The Twilight Zone*, actually never said, "Imagine if you will," being the eldest female child in a family with no parenting. Imagine being "Mommy" to a pair of irresponsible, substance-addicted adult children. Imagine taking on the responsibility of being the nanny for younger siblings, the maid for lazy, hungover parents, the literal whipping girl for a father's outbursts. Catina Noble has nailed it in *Finding Evie*. She has managed to portray Evie Feathers as though she herself had lived through each and every soul-destroying experience and come out, not merely as a survivor, but as a thriver. Finding Evie holds hope between its covers for neglected children.
