The Wishing Pearl by Nicole O’Dell
Haunted by the memory of her father’s death and subject to her stepfather’s abuse, Olivia Mansfield turns to drugs and alcohol to numb her pain. When her addictions lead to a fatal accident, she turns to Diamond Estates for help. There she befriends a group of girls struggle with difficult pasts. Together, the foursome overcomes self-destructive behaviors, feelings of worthlessness, and even the center’s resident mean girl.
Nicole O’Dell treats each of the girl’s issues with discretion and wisdom. I don’t say this often, but I loved this book. It truly was hard to put it down. Well-written and heart-breaking, The Wishing Pearl will leave you changed.
