About the Book
Molly is ten and her life is about to change dramatically. During a tumultuous and unexpected experience at a new school, she learns that she has to find her own strength to carry on.
This is a story of how it feels to be bullied and the inner transformation that occurs. It’s about best friends and frenemies. And it’s about being vulnerable and the power of our own minds to build us up and see us through tough times.
The story is mostly for adult women to help them heal from their own childhood traumas with bullying. The story can help them uncover forgotten feelings and heal them with adult insight. The book is also appropriate for junior high readers on up.
Ms. Dalton’s words are courageously accurate when expressing the wonder, doubts, and pleasures of being a child on the cusp of puberty.
Molly’s quest for authentic friendship, love, and acceptance will remind us all about the humanity of youth.
