Summary: Deep, really deep.
Comment: Not since Resurrecting Mingus, have I read a book that has moved me as much as Rainelle Burton's The Root Worker.

Ellen's story is a familar story, of the girl left behind. Hers is a story of physical, mental, and sexual abuse, that trancends the ordinary dysfunctional family. This unique tale is told in the voice of a girl whose voice has been muted to nearly everyone except her imaginary friend Clarissa. Even through the midst of angst and lonliness, Ellen story is vivid, uplifting, and somewhat humerous at times.

Burton's done a wonderful thing in this story. She let us peep into the lives of an extraordinary, reluctant, heroine. Her imagery and symbolism is reminiscent of Alice Walker.

If you want a book to read that's thoughtful, extremely well written, and even mystical, then this book will not dissapoint.

Summary: A WONDERFUL READ
Comment: I loved this book. It was a switch from the "sister girl" books that I normally read. It took me back to my high school english class where a book was dissected to find all the literary meanings and symbolizations.

It was a hard read, but that made it all the better. I still havent figured out all the sympolization in the book, but I am definetly going to read it again and look a little deeper next time.

Ellens character really moved me and I definetly thought about this book long after I finished reading.
