** spoiler alert ** *(Heaving a big sigh)* I do not know why I continue to subject myself to reading these types of books. My friend says its b/c "we all need somebody else drama in our lives!" The main character in this book was just plain ignorant. Harmony Phillips was just 5 yrs old when she witnessed her father's murder and suffered mental and physical abuse by her mother, grandmother, and uncle. Since then her life was just one big mess of lies and deceit. This book was boring and Harmony's character was just so ignorant it almost made you not want to feel sorry for her. The beginning of the book was just horrible and disgusting. I hate reading about children getting sexually abused and by her grandmother was just plain gross. Harmony did have a hard life growing up surrounded by low-down people. But, I felt in one sense Harmony's character was contradiction. Harmony was devastated by the murder of her father b/c he apparently was the only one she felt loved her. Through out the book the was the one sensitive spot Harmony had and she longed to have her father back. In the beginning of the book right before her father died her father gave Harmony some advice and that was to get an education and be smart. However, Harmony did not take this advice from her father. For all Harmony claims to have loved her father, she neglected to do the one piece of positive advice her father gave her before his murder. Harmony never learned how to take care of herself, she was so hateful and plain ignorant. Once she had her twins who she perpetrated as boys when they were really girls, she relied on them as young kids to make money and support her by using threats and force. Harmony was just plain trifling and I did not like this book. I am sorta of looking forward to book 2 to find out what happens to Harmony's daughter Mad.
