It was depressing reading this book.  I was looking forward to reading this book having grown up in the late 60's and 70's. It was just to much perverts, family who keep secrets and protect the pervert not caring what he is doing not only to their own children but what he might be doing to their granchildren knowing he is doing this to others in town none of them report it,  drugs, teen age pregnancy, did I say drugs, drug addicted boyfriends, abusive mother, absentee father, lying mother who says something that has no meaning to the story to hurt Maggie,  family members who are thieves and rob when visiting,  a mother who can predict deaths and bad events and  a doll that has eyes that blink red eyes or shine or somethng ridiculous  when something bad is going to happen. Maggie who has a terrible life with all of the above yet becomes prom queen and class president,  somehow survives to have the last couple of chapters magically turn everything around... with a happily ever after.  Giving it a two only because I finished it.
