Black-Eyed Suzie By Susan Shaw

The book Black-Eyed Suzie written by Susan shaw is about a young girl named Suzie who feels she has lost ability to talk. She sits in the same yellow chair in her house with her knees raised up to her face and tries to stay out of the way, especially when it comes to her mother.

Suzie gets institutionalized and deals with the struggles of depression, abuse and feeling unloved. Suzie is the narrator of the story, so we see everything from her eyes.

This is a sad, but in the end, inspirational story. The chapters are very short and are constantly interesting. Although the book is confusing in the beginning, (we aren't quite sure why Suzie acts the way she does) all the confusion gets cleared up.
