I have only been reading this book for a couple of days but I am hooked and it is one of the best books I have read.

This book is about her life from the day was born to where she is now. She had a rough childhood with many memories which have scared her for life.

Below are some bits of chapter one which stood out to me.

Chapter One: Running Away
A quote from chapter one... "A slight sound woke me up, and when I opened my eyes, I was staring into the face of a lion. Riveted awake, my eyes stretched wide-very wide-as if to expand enough to contain this animal infront of me. I tried to stand up but I hadn't eaten for several days so my weak legs wobbled and folded beneath me."
Summary in my own words:
She had help from her mother to plan an escape away from her home. She did just this. Her Dad chased her for hours on end but she didnt slow down, she kept going. He gave up. She ran through the desert for days on end untill she came to a small city. She got hitiched by a man. He was in his forties. She took the risk of getting in a truck with this man and he ended up trying to rape her. She didn't budge..It was a struggle but she ended up knocking him out with a loose rock and nearly killing him. She ran, ran and kept running until she was out of sight from this mans truck. She then got hitchhiked by another man. She had an okay feeling. He was rich. What could go wrong? She thought.
