From the opening chapter, Victoria's story grabbed me emotionally.

Her husband had a lover before he left for war, but Vivienne never even hinted at that to the children or Brasilhttp://tearingdownvsbuildingup.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589686567048370869.post-63743441339785705502012-04-16T01:19:53.041-06:002012-04-16T01:19:53.041-06:00This is a good novel about a girl that is raped an...This is a good novel about a girl that is raped and a back to school party. She calls 911 and all of her friends turn on her because she called the cops but don't know why she did it. Now Melinda rarely speaks to anyone and has no friends.

This is solid writing and gives the reader one glimpse into the minds and lives of some young folks who wind up on the cutting room floor.
