More than any other heroine I'd read, this one sounded like me. For Catherine, and for me, there is no easy solution to the cages life makes for you. Sometimes the power is in deciding to be yourself in whatever cage you're in."</p>. Juvenile Literature. Historical Fiction. Juvenile Fiction. Media Type: eBook.
