Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement Review

It took me a lot longer to get to this book than I thought it would. However, once I did, I loved it. I'm not usually one for these kinds of books, but this one was very well written and compelling.

This book centers around Ladydi and her family as they struggle to deal with the tough situation surrounding them in rural mexico. This book is not very long, and packs a punch. There is violence, sadness, death, and even sometimes hope. Reading this book I really felt for everything that Ladydi and her family went through, it is especially touching knowing these things do in fact happen to people. 

While this book captured me more than I thought it would, and I thought it was much more compelling than similar books I still wasn't in love with it. In this time of powerful women, this book really exemplifies that and with a more diverse cast. If you're looking for a rollercoaster ride, albeit an inspiring rollercoaster ride of a book, pick up Prayers for the Stolen by Jennifer Clement.
