Adolescence

Dumpster Doll, Book 2

De: Michelle Mays, Michelle Moone

Narrado por: Michelle Mays

The Dumpster Doll Series continues with Adolescence—a story of a teenage foster kid's struggle and triumph, her pitfalls and resilience.

Michelle and her brothers are fresh out of foster care when they're reunited with their father in southern Ohio. Michelle has dreams of mending fractures in her family and moving past the trauma of the previous 12 years. But leaving the stability and guidance of a loving foster family, she discovers her single father is plagued with PTSD and not equipped to handle raising her and her brothers.

As Michelle begins to navigate adolescence without guidance, regular teenage problems compound into more serious roadblocks, and she ends up back in the foster care system. Just as she gets on her feet, determined to break the cycle, she ages out of the foster care system, and discovers it's once again up to her to secure her future.

Each challenge threatens to dim that future, but a spirit of resilience and a gritty perseverance keep her going-through poverty, assaults, homelessness, complicated family dynamics, juvenile detention, and the hardest decision she'll make in her life.

I was so sad it ended

I feel like the writers have found their rhythm in this 2nd book. I get lost in the details and love how the words paint the scene in my head. My only question is...when is the next book coming out?

Loved it!

i absolutely loved to hear your story. my sister was married to your brother Eric

Not as good as the first book

The narration was worse in the second book than the first. Especially toward the end where I felt like they couldn’t wait to be done and didn’t brother to cut out mistakes or smacking of lips. The second installment was ok , not great. I understand that she was traumatized and was screwed up but the stupid mistakes and choices she made were just aggravating. I think there is a 3rd installment but I think I will skip it.
