Book damaged

Damaged as in writing inside and ripped in a few places and back is only half way attached. Guess for the price it isn’t bad just wasn’t aware of such flaws

The Privilege of Youth

This is an honest and enlightening story, detailing the life of a teen survivor of child abuse. Survivors of child abuse lack the boundaries that most people learn in their family units. They are alone to learn them. This is also one of the positive examples of how the foster care program can turn things around for a child. This is a good book for anyone in social services and anyone considering foster care.Read full review...

Book was needed for granddaughter as part of the series written by Pelzer. She had 2 of the 4 and I needed to find the other remaining books. Bought it here at reasonable price and it was delivered in a short length of time. My granddaughter read it and really enjoyed it. I have put it aside for myself to read later.Read full review...
