I remembered a good portion of this book from when I read it in middle school, and it was better even than I remembered. This book is about what the title says- a girl forced to be on her own who finds a way to survive and thrive. It's empowering, and, though she does at the very end get married, it's not about that. It's about Sarah discovering who she is and finding the confidence to be that person.
