You will be emotionally invested in the outcome. She wants her readers to be thinking about the story long after they have turned the last page. Some may say why write about such controversial and difficult subjects. Paige feels that if we look the other way and don't address society's fears no real growth will ever happen. As Ben Franklin said: "Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are." Society should not look the other way because a subject seems too difficult to handle, just remember her books are fiction but people live through these real-life horrors. So, buckle up and take a Paige Dearth life changing journey. It may take you into a new world of renewed enlightenment to make a difference and change the life of a child.
