Dustbin Baby

April started out in life as a dustbin baby, unceremoniously abandonded in a rubbish bin on 1st April. Now she's turned fourteen, April is determined to find out where she came from.

I never expected a children's book to turn out this dark. God, I can't imagine how awful and terrifying April's life must have been in reality. To discover the truth about her life and see how she accepted it in the book is unimaginable. She must have been so strong. If I ever had the chance to meet April, I would hug her tightly and tell her, "You truly deserve the world." :') ♡
