Review: 
I kept seeing this book literally everywhere! So, I finally gave it a chance and I devoured it in one night!
In the beginning Kya's mother is gone, Kya keeps wishing and thinking she will come back but when she doesn't return soon her brothers and sisters leave her with her father. Between her father and her they had a brief father/daughter relationship but after a point her father disappeared too. Kya is ten years old and she is basically living off the land. Catching and smoking fish and catching mussels, this allowed her to get some people Mabel and Jumpin. Jumpin bought her mussels and fish and then Mabel took donations and gave her some clothes and things to help her along. While this little 10 year old girl is living on her own she soon makes a friend Tate. He doesn't call her the marsh girl or anything else he actually sees her and they become fast friends. Tate even teaches Kya how to read. Their relationship grows from there then, in 1969 Chase the other boy who Kya would see is found dead under suspicious circumstances. So of course everyone jumps on the band wagon accusing Kya of commiting his murder. Then this novel takes you through the murder trial.
This book is phenomenal, I absolutely feel for all of the characters! Kya is the marsh girl, the girl that everyone left the one who she had to take care of herself from age ten with some help from people in the area. Then Tate thought he wouldn't be able to handle her differences and he wanted to be more academic, so he left for a bit only to realize that she was the love of his life and he wanted to be with her. Then Jumper and Mabel are the ones when no one would take care of this girl by helping her out with selling her smoked fish and her mussels. This story goes through more than one heart break, love, fear, anger and everything a heartfilled book should. This is definitely one that I recommend to anyone. It's so good!

My Review of Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones

​ Title: Sex Cult Nun  Author: Faith Jones  Published: November 30, 2021  Published by: William Morrow Books  Genre: True Crime/Memior  Pages: 400  Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  Review:  I'm giving this book 5 stars. The reason for the five stars is the rawness and the transparency of this author that she went into the details that she knew would bother a lot of people, she went to the deepest and darkest times in her life and she put them on blast. She blasted her truth from the rooftops for not only herself but for everyone that is not able to share their truth.  This book has an abundance of disturbing and disgusting content and a lot of underage sexual abuse and rape. That is the part that is hard to read about, but her courage to share it and write it is very eye-opening. I did not agree with he whole sharing and polygamy but with each their own. I know I would not want to share my spouse with another person. The whole child abuse and sexual abuse...
