Just curious, did anybody else who had an abusive childhood absolutely ADORE stories where a girl would, like, be in an absolute SHIT situation and have to create a cozy, safe place for herself?
A Little Princess is KIND OF the thing, but also kind of isn’t, but it’s close enough. Secret Garden is A LITTLE BIT?
Mandy by Julie Andrews
Some of Scott O’Dell’s stuff, though the NATURE of the shit situation is a little different
And I know there were more of them, but those are the ones I can see clearly in my head.
A Little Princess. The Secret Garden. Anne of Green Gables. Emily of New Moon. Jane Eyre. 🙂
I think I like Mansfield Park for a similar reason, but I only read that as an adult.
