A dark topic of family dysfunction but still a Readers' FavoriteCan she ever recover from the abuse suffered? Tookie, now fifteen years old, shares her nightmarish memories as a survivor of unspeakable and depraved atrocities committed by the very system in charge of her protection in this dark-fiction, tell-all novella. Lost in a corrupt 'system,' Tookie suffered mind-blowing abuse that would cripple any child. Although it's devastating to read about these horrific crimes, Tookie's inspiring hard-won recovery, and the devotion of her loving grandmother are breathtaking in this "based-in-part-on-a-true-story" novella. This gender studies story is difficult to read and has many emotional triggers, but it is a topic that the world needs to acknowledge and do something about.
