Something Like Hope

Something Like Hope - Shawn Goodman No one had checked out this book since the library got it! I think because of the aspirational cover. So I decided to read it to see what it was all about. And it's a very quick read and very juicy. Not really about geese at all (although some do feature in the story. as Symbols of Things). And it made me cry. It's set in a juvenile detention center and involves the protag learning to love herself. The author is definitely trying to teach lessons, but it doesn't get in the way of the character.
