First, both her parents disappear, in an instant, from her life after their horrific auto accident. Next, the faceless child protection agencies (that now control everything in their lives) come and snatch away her only sibling—her brother Eric—to something called a foster home. Only then do they come back for her…

Suddenly a young life that was surrounded by a loving family one moment and spiraling out of control the next…is now in freefall. That’s when six-year-old Connelly Pierce begins her incredible, fourteen-year odyssey across America and into the darkest underbellies of this strange new world she must learn to navigate. All the while, changing from that once little girl into young womanhood, and beginning to understand—if she has any hope of surviving, of finding her brother who’s now gone missing, of breaking through to the other side of whatever awaits her—she must count only on her own self, her own mind, her own heart, to get her there.

Still, there was one more thing she had to learn. And that was that fighting an ever-changing, faceless and uncaring system was one thing. But running away to fight the entire world, even with all her anger and rage, was something entirely different…

Girl, Interrupted meets She’s Come Undone

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

James Snyder was born in Memphis, Tennessee and fell in love with the cadence and sound of storytelling as a child, listening to the meandering tales of his Southern grandmothers and great aunts. While still a child, his family moved to Napa Valley, California where he attended middle and high school, and began taking writing classes at the local college. He left after a year to join the military, and was a soldier with a tactical mobile operations unit in Germany when, pulling a Harz mountaintop guard duty one night during a snowstorm, he had the chance encounter with another soldier that ultimately became the genesis for his debut military thriller AMERICAN WARRIOR. He is also the author of the suspense thriller DESOLATION RUN, the young-adult/new-adult trilogy THE BEAUTIFUL-UGLY, the short story collection TALES OF THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY, and other literary works. "Berlin Diaries" is his occasional blog at JamesSnyder.net where he further discusses the backgrounds of his, and other, writings. He currently lives in Texas.

5,0 su 5 stelle Hard to Put Down
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 16 giugno 2017
I will not even try to describe this book, as I don't want to spoil it for you. I will say, I'm not sure what book reviewer DS was reading when they said there was too much sex and coarse language. He/she must have either been reading something else entirely, or didn't understand the book at all. Regardless, this is one of the best books I've read all year. I can't belive a man was able to write about the things in this book so accurately and with so much emotion. That's not to say that men cannot write emotionally; rather it's what this author was writing about in part 1 and 2. He got it SO right, the emotions, the feelings and thoughts, I cannot express how accurate he described it all. There were times I laughed out loud, and then there were times when I was crying so much, and the emotion so visceral, I had to stop for a minute and get out of the book. He does emotion so well, it's like you're living it with the characters. Part 3 was the necessary gentle closure that was needed after parts 1 & 2 grab and throttle the reader.

The author has an unusual writing style that took some getting used to. He is very descriptive, and the book almost reads like a persons actual thought process. Sometimes jumping here to there and back again, but I think that brings the reader even further into the story; almost as a voyeur. I had a hard time putting this book down. I look forward to reading more by this author.

5,0 su 5 stelle Sublime Storytelling. An exceptional Work.
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 8 febbraio 2015
In truth I have never been affected so much by a book before. If I could give 10 stars then I would 5 stars are not enough. James Snyder is a rare and wonderful talent. He not only tells a story - his writing makes you live and breathe it. You become emotionally immersed. 'The Beautiful Ugly' is searingly visceral if you're ready to be challenged, to be enraged by the wrongs of society against children, if you're ready to witness evil and then fly high on soaring strength of the human spirit then give yourself a gift and read a book you won't forget.

The use of language, the insights into human nature, the descriptions of both physical and spiritual themes are breathtaking. Do not read this book if you have a sensitive nature. Do read this book if you want to wake up your mind and feel the blood pumping faster through your veins. Ultimately 'The Beautiful Ugly' is life-affirming. Take your time and relish each word and relish the work of a true master storyteller.

4,0 su 5 stelle Worth reading
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 28 luglio 2016
Well-written saga of a young girl's coming of age while overcoming all the worst that can be thrown at them. My only writing gripe was consistent comma over-use/misuse that muddied the meaning. The author has a love affair with language, but some of the plot points seemed too convenient.Because of this, there is a sense of vignettes flashing on a screen rather than a smooth plot line. This isn't necessarily bad, simply more cinematic than literary.

I had a slight problem with the title, even though it is explicated at one point. The title doesn't seem to me to exemplify the story. The protagonist seems to almost sleep-walk through some very horrific situations, while the ending left threads dangling and issues unresolved. On the plus side, the inner thoughts and reactions of a young woman and an artist are handled quite well. I say this as an old woman who is an artist and who recognized my own experiences as both.

This was an interesting read that kept me involved.
