I have only ready about half of this book but it has been an amazing book, this author has created a story about a young women going through many hardships in her life and pursuing all the way through them no matter what.I have personally figured out that a few major themes in this book are self sufficiency in Jeanette as well loving your family .I highly recommend this book to any other readers that enjoy a heart wrenching book. Overall 9.5/10
