Review:
DDNF is not for anyone under the age of eighteen even though it involves
the young. Unfortunately, it deals with a subject that has and still continues
to occur, sexual abuse of a child, which is terrible.
Maiya is a young woman that not only had
to deal with poverty growing up, but she had to deal with the lack of affection
from her alcoholic, mother to her step-father who showed her too much affection
by sexually abusing her. This book delves into that cruel reality of abuse and
its consequences. It houses revenge, numerous amounts of mistakes involving
sexual promiscuity and an abundance of drug abuse. Clearly this is a sad story
but a real one as it continues to occur in today's society.
Nonnie Jules does this subject matter
justice by keeping it harsh, real, and raw. She pulls you in from beginning to
end even though, at times, you want to turn away but you cannot. Her
character and scene descriptions gives you such a clear picture of what is happening
which, a lot of it, is hard to take in. Well done, Nonnie Jules, for writing a
heart wrenching story that I could not put down. I highly recommend the book!
