Okay, technically this is my second review of this book-BUT! I got my teacher at school to get my whole literacy book club group to read it, and everyone in my group LOOVED it! I think- to respond to another review I read that says that the title made it sound more drastic than her "JUST A BROKEN LEG" really was, that even though she only broke her leg, she was kept in a BODY CAST for 11 MONTHS!! So I'm sorry that you weren't happy with the title, but Ruth Behar is an incredible writer and is so brave! I just ADORE this book so much! P.S. sorry about all the caps used. it's just that when i feel strongly about a topic, I use CAPITAL LETTERS

I thought it was very sad. I cried most of the book. But once I finished it, I really enjoyed it!

Is an amazing book about a girl named Ruth and if you want 2 pick a book worth reading PICK THIS BOOK. I would totally read any book by this author is definitely a must read!

This book was so good! The story was great and I loved it

Dear whoever is going to read this book, I have a few things to say. First of all, if you are a person who is compassionate and loves tragedy (like me) you will love this book. Also, it makes you have mixed emotions about it because it gives language that really gets to you. Overall it was a favorite book for me because it gave heart because it gave me insight in what it was like to go through a horrible car accident with support.
