![]() She has endured countless seedy motels, she has lived as a squatter, she has endured too many of her mother's questionable and abusive boyfriends. She has never been in regular school, she barely remembers her old life they move around haphazardly, on her mother's whim. Callie has been on the run with her mess of a bipolar mother since she was 5.

Maybe it was just the book and its completely forgettable characters and plot. Maybe I didn't need to question my basest nature. I had a little bit of an personal identity crisis while reading a novel.I had to set the book aside at one point to ask myself: Am I a horrible person? Am I completely lacking in emotions, in empathy? Do I even have a heart? How else do I explain my complete lack of interest, and in fact, my dislike for the main character, someone who has been kidnapped and molested? ![]()
