Never Be Alone

Never Be Alone by Paige Dearth
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I won this book through Goodreads and this is a new author for me.  It is the story of Joon who lost her parents at a young age, and placed in a foster home.  Her foster mom and children abuse her (graphic sometimes) and when she can no longer take the abuse, Joon runs away.  The story continues with her living on the streets, the people she meets, how they take care of each other and the losses she sustains.  

All Joon ever wanted to do was something good, to help others but it turns out to be a difficult thing for her.  While the story gets a little lift at the end, it is heartbreaking to read about what goes on in the streets.  The book is very well written and I was glad to find a new author.  So much so, that I purchased another book (continuing story of another character in this story) and am reading that now.  

Definitely will be reading more books by Paige Dearth.  #fourstars
