Solitary Pussytoes - Nathan Evans - Bog

"Ironic wit is the tightrope that enables Bonnie Jae Dane to balance between anger and sentimentality as her language intoxicated young narrator-who is a real charmer-tells us about her struggle to survive the daily trauma of the inner city, to express her love of her mama, and to imagine the wildflowers that might grow if only given a chance. It eloquently tells the story of a teenager whose life is fraught with the damaging effects of bullying, which causes her to seek comfort in her imagined life of flowers making the world a better place." Professor Allen Guttman Amherst College
