The Sound of Gravel by Ruth Wariner
5.0

Taylor recommended it on Instagram and I took her word for it even though it didn't seem like something I thought I'd really love... but wow. Couldn't put it down. The story is about a young girl growing up in a crazy twisted Mormon-ish impoverished cult in Mexico, and it's one of those stories that breaks your heart while making you so engrossed in the story while also making you want to adopt all the poor babies living in awful circumstances... it's a must-read. That's all I'll say about it, because I don't want to give this one away.
