![]() ![]() ![]() Plot: The book is loosely based on the Manson Family murders so if you're familiar with what happened, you'll actually recognize some of the elements in Family. Maybe I should just move on to breaking things down? but I'm having a heck of a time summarizing my thoughts. ![]() Honestly, I'm quite conflicted about my emotions. Review: I'm going to be completely upfront and honest with you guys: I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this one. No matter what the family does, or how far they go. And if Mel truly wants to belong, she will share in everything they do. They share the chores, their bodies, and their beliefs. And this new family, Henry’s family, shares everything. Because family is what Mel has never really had. One that will embrace her and give her love. Henry is the handsome, charismatic man who comes upon her, collapsed on a park bench, and offers love, a bright new consciousness, and-best of all-a family. Summary (from goodreads): It is a day like any other when seventeen-year-old Melinda Jensen hits the road for San Francisco, leaving behind her fractured home life and a constant assault on her self-esteem. ![]() It never said exactly when it was set but I assumed in the 70s at the latest, honestly. in verse? I don't know how to categorize verse books and I'm also not sure if I want to call it historical or contemporary. ![]()
