The first-person narrative of this admirable literary debut comically reveals 12-year-old Maggie Pittsfield s secret, painful struggle with having been sexually abused. A reader having to deal otherwise with Maggie s victimization, her rage, her sometimes violent tendencies, and her six distinct personalities without Stowe s gift for invoking laughter might find the subject matter unbearable. Stowe s use of humor in no way detracts from the ragedy confronting Maggie, particularly since Maggie s family does its utmost to deny, minimalize, ignore, and even antagonize her troubled existence. Kaye Gibbons s Ellen Foster , Alice Walker s The Color Purple , and Toni Morrison s The Bluest Eye have skillfully portrayed girls in similar nightmarish situations. Stowe s novel has justifiably earned a place among these works.
