First line: Once upon a time, there was a very bad rat…
Why you should read this book: Helen Potter, a homeless
runaway whose pet rat is her only companion, is deeply wounded on the inside as
a result of long term childhood trauma. She doesn’t know how to trust humans
and can’t stand to be touched, until she finally chooses to confront her demons
by following the path suggested by her idol, Beatrix Potter, to England’s Lake
district. There, she begins to heal herself and chooses to rise above her
troubled past.
Why you shouldn’t read this book: Trigger warning for incest
and sexual assault.
