Summary: I found myself talking to the book.
Comment: From the first page of this book I knew I was in
trouble. I joined a book club to lure me out of
my comfort zone. GAL was on the list. I had
never heard of it or the author. I got the book,
tried reading the book, became upset with the
author (who through no fault of her own had to
endure this humiliation), put the book down several
times, and basically had to force myself to read
it. I was drained by the time I finished. I so
wanted a happy ending but her life where she was
born remained the same. The day the book club was
supposed to meet was rainy. One person other than
myself showed up. I pleaded with her to stay so we
couldtalk. I believe that had it not been for her, and
the people at work, my family and innocent passers-
by I would have needed therapy after reading this
book. Do I recommend it? Only for the strong.
Thanks for allowing me to vent my frustrations
over this book.

Summary: I need more stars....10!
Comment: This is one of my favorite books. This book left an impression on me that I will never forget. This book is so raw and real that at times, it was difficult for me to read. I applaud Ruthie for having the courage to write about her life and the horrible events that she endured. The book made me angry, yet it was an eye opener to some of the real issues that many children face. I feel that this book should be a required reading in African American Studies.
I am so looking forward to just one more book from this author. I truly loved... this book. I finished this book in 4 hours. Once you pick it up, you will be trapped until you finish. The story of this little girls life will stay with me forever. When my daughter becomes of age, She will read this book. All praise to you GAL!

Summary: This was a true story.............
Comment: This book was recommended by a friend. When I ordered this book I did not expect it to be this GOOD! Gal was the best book I have read in a long time! Ruthie was the main character's name, but she was always called Gal. Ruthie never knew her mother, but she did see her a few times when she was young.
Ruthie lived with her grandmother who was abused by her husband-Ruthie's stepgrandfather. After Ruthie's grandmother died she was left to the brutal hands of her stepgrandfather. He beat her for every little thing that she did and used her as his personal slave. The way he treated Ruthie made me cry-I started to really hate this man! I kept saying to myself when is things going to go good for this girl. She met this guy name Ray who changed her whole world then her grandaddy got sick and who did everbody call on---GAL?! After everything this man had put her through Ruthie and her family moved back to her hometown to take care of this man. He still treated her like nothing and she was the ONLY one taking care of him!
This story made me cry more than laugh. After Ruthie's stepgrandfather died true feelings of some of her family members came to surface making Ruthie feel like nothing all over again.
Gal: A True Life was an expectional story and I highly recommend others to read it! ORDER IT TODAY!
