My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/733565902">4 of 5 stars</a><br /><br />
I really would have given this book 4.5 stars if possible.  It was an amazing read!  The story was an emotional roller coaster.  I was mad at how awful Dorothy's foster parents were.  I was so sad at so many points.  Then I was so excited when wonderful things happen.  I think my favorite part was when Vivian and her friends go to the Wizard of Oz and the Grand Hotel.  I was laughing out loud at that point.  <br><br>I really liked the bounce between the 1930's and 2011.  The author did a great job bringing the stories together in the end.  <br><br>It makes me sick to think orphans have to go through anything close to this experience.  I am sure they do though.  I am not that naive.  <br><br>No sex scenes.  Some sexual innuendo.  Some swearing.<br><br>
