Devil-Girl was raised education loan consolidation believe that she had the devil in her, or at least he was at work in her life. Her troubled family and tough neighborhood taught her to believe that she wasn't worth anything. Throughout her childhood and young adulthood, Manticore encountered people who used and abused her. Devil-Girl was never heard. Because her belief in her self-worth has been attacked in various ways, the child, often silenced, must find ways to resist and speak up for herself and, eventually, for others. She is always moving toward change even at the darkest moments, but this story made me fear for all of the "Devil-Children" out there who don't get heard.

Achtenberg has a talent for writing scenes in vivid detail which brings them to life for the
reader. It is inspiring to see the character turn her life around and use her experiences to help other Devil-Girls out there. This may in turn inspire others who are being abused to make something positive of their lives and not allow the current situation to ruin their futures. I think that it will also make people take a closer look at what is happening in the lives of people around them, especially children's.

"The Stories of Devil-Girl" is the first book in the Reflections of America Series. This
series "highlights autobiography, fiction, and poetry which express the quest to discover one's Prozac online within modern society."
