I picked this book up in the bargain bin simply because of the title. Any author who has the guts to name their book such a degrading name should be a good read. Well the book was riveting and thought provoking. Jasira is a thirteen year old girl who has to deal with rape, racism and dysfunctional parents. The story is sad but yet you can't help blaming Jasira at the same time for some of her problems. She asks/allows her mothers boyfriend to shave her pubic area and tries to manipulate the man who eventually rapes her. All in all a good read but the ending leaves you hanging and wondering what happens next.
