Über diesen Titel
Joan's neighborhood is filled with kids of all ages, but even her closest friends don't know how violent Joan's dad is or how difficult it is for her to navigate the troubled waters of her homelife. Joan becomes adept at reading her dad's mood and trying to prevent him from inflicting harm upon her mom. But time and again, her dad succeeds in his mission. As the violence escalates, Joan is plagued with the constant fear that her mother may die. Repeatedly she asks the same questions: Why is her dad so violent, and why can't he be stopped?
Throughout the course of her childhood, several heroes enter Joan's life. Listeners will cheer for each as they offer Joan gifts of validation, acceptance, and hope. Joan's exceptional yet frank storytelling brings the listener directly into her home, providing unembellished awareness of the multiple issues that encompass domestic violence. The Best Girl is a story of resilience and survival, and as the book concludes, listeners are left with feelings of possibility and hope: It appears that 16-year old Joan is going to make it.
