Summary from goodreads.com

//Raised in a religious -- yet abusive -- family, Pattyn Von Stratten starts asking questions -- about God, a woman's role, sex, love. She experiences the first stirrings of passion, but when her father catches her in a compromising position, events spiral out of control. Pattyn is sent to live with an aunt in the wilds of Nevada to find salvation and redemption. What she finds instead is love and acceptance -- until she realizes that her old demons will not let her go. //

One reason we want to read this book is because it is written in verse, which is a different style of writing. It is almost like poems on each page. Ellen Hopkins also writes in unique text formats. For example when talking about money the sentences were in the shape of a money sign. Other group members have read other books by her and enjoy her style of writing.

It is also a easy read and understandable. We can relate because the character is a junior girl in high school. It seems like a more edgier book and deals with issues that other teens might be going through; fitting in, boys, grades, and pleasing parents. It an age appropriate book and we are all excited to read it.
