Review: Blood Wounds


Blood Wounds
Blood Wounds by Susan Beth Pfeffer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Wow. What an amazing book.

Pfeffer has a gift. She can take readers to the dark places in our souls and back out again. We're changed by the journey, tempered, and drained. Her fiction explores what it means to be a family, to have others to rely on or that rely upon you. And she explores what it means when you are alone and don't have that support. Finally, she shows the moments when kids see their parents as real, as flawed, as loving and as hateful.

Someday, I hope that I will be able to write with one tenth of Pfeffer's power.
