Story of a Girl is a story of the transformation Deanna makes as she searches for herself. She is trying to recover from the incident that happened when she was thirteen, but in her journey for a new life she is met by some past obsticles. This novel shows the determination one girl can possess in a search for her true self. Though she made some mistakes she may have regretted in the past, she is trying to redeem herself and make the people in her life see the real her. Her parents no longer trust her because of her past and because of the choices her brother has made. The only people she can really go to are in a relationship and therefore can't always give her the help and attention she needs. But despite all these hardships and obsticles she finds her own way out. I think in this novel I found my self sort of admiring the courage that Deanna shows. She didn't let the things people put her down for effect her as much as they would effect some people. This novel has a good message behind it. No matter what life throws at you, don't let it bring you down. You may hit rock bottom, but once that happens there is only one direction to go and that's up.
