What an amazing read. Sunny is sent to America from Guyana to potentially pave the way for the rest of her family to follow. Once she gets to America she realizes that all of the things that she was promised were lies. She is placed with a couple and has to endure years of hardship and abuse.

This book is at times heartbreaking and uplifting. Sunny/Neena/Synthia/Maya goes through some unimaginable traumatic events but she also gathers a small group of people who are in her corner trying to help her.

The writing is beautiful and the story is told in such a way that no matter what Sunny does I was always rooting for her!!!

Thank you Zibby Books and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book!!!

I really enjoyed this story. I do wish that we could have had some more scenes in present day dealing with how the family copes and communicates.
