Free Choice-Girl bomb

Well, I am a little more than half way done with this book and I am learning that Janice is the innocent one. The entire time, I had it in my head that she was going to mess up somehow. I read the book Go Ask Alice, and Alice was given chance after chance but kept messing it up on her own. Janice is nothing like her at all. I really feel bad for her. I am at the point where Janice moved back home with her mom. I cannot even imagine how Janice feels. I am very close with my mom but Janice does not even trust her mom. That is extremely sad. I do not like her mom at all! What kind of parent picks men over their own kids?!?!? Janice still smokes pot, but who could blame her? She is just trying to deal with all of the problems that she had to face. I have high hopes for Janice right now.
Imagine being a very young teen and having to live in a homeless shelter where people want to kill you. You have to constinately watch your back and you have noone there to trust or to turn too. I know I would never be able to do that. Which brings me to my next sad thought. This book was taken place in the 80's. Now, even though that was a long time ago, there are people still out there like that. People who live in homeless shelters, group homes, or just out on the streets, people who do not have anywhere to go or anyone to turn to. This book is chillingly good, but still has alot of truth to it. It is sad, but if Janice could get through all she has so far, I know she will make it even farther. I can't wait to see.
