Girl in the Mirror |
What are readers saying?
"This book is both uplifting and well-written. I'd recommend it to anyone, even the people who haven't been in an abusive relationship." Michelle, High School Student "People who should read this book are those who feel they can't speak up about problems or who can't fully see who they are." Nicholas-Rose, Teen Author "Girl in the Mirror is a prodigious story about a girl who must survive her abusive boyfriend. This story entails some fear, suspense, and an unsuspecting twist. It will have you on the edge of your seat as you cry, laugh, and reminisce with Sylvie Dawson. The story of Psyche and Eros (a Greek myth) will enthrall you with your own self discovery. I definitely recommend this book to every young woman who is finding herself in this world." A 16-year-old high school student "This book comes at a time when violence against women is again highlighted in the media through such stories as Rhianna & Chris Brown. Unfortunately, stories of Rhianna will continue on; it is estimated that 1 in 3 women in North America experience abuse at the hands of their partners. In this story, Farrell stresses the importance of independence for women . . . one of the greatest assets one may achieve. Farrell masterfully intertwines the myth of Psyche and Eros with the story "Girl in the Mirror," highlighting the similarities between women of yesteryear and women of today, in their strive for self-actualization and independence. A must read!" Karen Koslowsky-Jones
