An incredible autobiography about a young girl, her violent and traumatic and abusive childhood. How she navigated her way through life, and the gems of people and animals she has met among the way that has helped her to stay grounded and stay focused on life.
Her relationship with her Horse Eddie, her English Teacher who saw talent in her and encouraged her, and then later on as an adult her relationship with the Dolphin named Jock. These people have had a huge impact on Melody and without their friendship and encouragement, Melody would be a shell of the person that she is today.
Jock and Melody had a very close relationship, both of them having come from traumatic and abusive childhoods. Melody father was abusive and violent, the police being called to their house multiple times a week.
Melody's story is based on how she has survived such a traumatic childhood, with the friendship of Jock the Dolphin.
This is quite a sad, but also a beautiful story.
Thankyou to Allen & Unwin for my advanced copy, in return I offer my honest review.
