Comments up to page 100:
Why isn’t Monique admitting that Jordan was mean and abusive to Gerald and angel and even to her thats what I am surprised with that she didn’t admit it. I like how Mr. Washington helped them and still checks on them every once in awhile and how he helped Gerald and got Jordan away from them when he called the police any other person could have said that thats Gerald’s problem not mine but Mr. Washington helped them a lot! It is also great that Angel found something like dancing that cheers her and keeps her going and it makes her stronger and she is really talented at it which is great for her, Its that Monique said yes about it too. Gerald now is old enough to take care of angel and make his own decisions so he can take care of her and protect her.

The link shows that child abuse happens all around us and that cases like Gerald and Angel's (though in this case fiction) are common and are continuing to be a growing concern. And are very real. On the book, my thoughts so far have been shocked yet incredibly hooked.I think its great for Angel to take up dancing. It will give her a passion.However i think it was totally awful that -#page 103- her father comes back. I don't think she can handle such stress.
