This is a wonderful change from all the other books of this genre. Lately, it seems that all of the authors are passing around the same tired story, barely changing anything more than the names, and skirting plagiarism. Not so with Suzanne Wright. I have been wanting to read this book for a while. I wasn't expecting it to be so...good (for want of a better term). I am giving it five stars only because a million was not an option.  The plot is original, the characters are likable, and despite the serious subject matter, there are genuinely humorous moments that don't feel forced. I enjoyed this book,ad I will be recommending it to everyone at goodreads.com. I will also write a proper review there as well.  It is also bears mentioning that I rarely like the lead female characters in novels these days. They are pathetic, weak, whiny, and full of themselves. This is the total opposite with Jaxxon. She is strong, loyal, honest, and real. I would want to be friends with her in real life if she existed. She didn't feel sorry for herself. She didn't become a whiny emotional train wreck. She is someone I can relate to, and that made all the difference to me when I read From Rags. I could put myself in her shoes, and she never once got on my nerves. Not one time. So, here I am, saying I love this book. It is now in my top 3 favorite books of 2012.
