God Help the Child by Toni Morrison
4.0
challenging emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced

I didn't know what to expect going into this; I only knew that it was the only Toni Morrison book currently available on Libby and that I guessed that's where I was starting.

This book was a look at how life hurts everyone. How people are broken and make horrible, horrible mistakes and why they do what they do. How they can become more than their pain. Toni Morrison's writing style is one I adored, and listening to her read the audiobook made the experience that much more personal, that much more raw. I really appreciate this book and look forward to reading more of her works in the future.

Also; for the people that are friends with me because I read YA: this is adult, not YA. As such, it has quite a bit of adult content in it. I'd assume most people would know that but, still putting it out there.
