So B. It


A beautiful story, written by the brilliant author Sarah Weeks, that tells of a young girl who just wants to find out who she really is. Heidi, the main character of the story, has a mentally retarded mother who can only say a few simple words. Heidi doesn't know anything about her past, except what her agoraphobic friend, and neighbor, has told her. So, she goes all the way to Reno, Nevada to find herself. In order to find out if she does or not, then you'll just have to go read the book.

When I read this book, it seemed as if it was simple, but the story itself is actually complex. I loved reading it. The mystery, the suspense, the sadness. Of all the books that I have read, I think that this is the only one that made me cry.
