The Life She Was Given by Ellen Marie WisemanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
My neighbor Sue recommended this to me and it was a really unusual read. It was about a woman who, as a young girl, was sold by her abusive mother to a circus, because she was an albino. Over time, she builds a family at the circus, but not without drama. There are alliances, betrayals, and complications throughout her life. The plotting of the book was spectacular, the character development bordered on trite, but was well-written enough that I still enjoyed the read. Great ending, too.
