Run Girls: A Memoir of an Appalachian Family in Crisis
"I couldn’t put it down! I literally finished the entire book in less than a day, and I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I finished it. Some of the trials and tribulations Jenny faced really struck home with me - and gave me a sense of hope that change and happiness is achievable. Great read. Great story. 10/10." -Amazon Review

As I started this book and read this at the beginning, Perhaps it was the shock I saw on my professor’s face when he reviewed my creative writings after he called me into his office to ensure I was okay, that made me realize I needed to write this story—. Was not sure I wanted to continue. I already feeling the anxiety. I’m heartbroken. I like the professor ask, are you okay?
