Idiot, by Holly Smith
Idiot is a powerful coming of age
story about a girl who beats the odds and moves between two worlds from a drug
addicted mother to a nurturing adoptive family. Idiot forces you think about
the choices we're all destined to make and strikes a perfect balance between
love and loss.
Although Idiot was inspired by a
true story, it is entirely a work of fiction. So many women could write stories
of their own abuse and struggle trying to blend into young adulthood. This book
transitions the reader from a young and unknowing girl to a beautiful young
woman and provides a unique glimpse into the private life of Eva Langston
through her diary entries.
This story was written with the hope
it may help others ease into and through difficult transitions. Although abuse
never goes away, it is sometimes dealt with in a manner that allows survivors
to move forward and blossom.
This work is dedicated to all young
people who haven’t yet found their way.
