Excellent book!!  Pashen and Valentina are some phenomenal young ladies.  These ladies learn that life has a way of changing instantly.  They had to grow up fast. Pashen has to deal with her mom losing herself to an abusive man.  Valentina has to deal with an absent mother and an emotionally absent father.  She also becomes an instant mother figure to her niece and nephews.Once I started this book, I could not put it down.  It had so many "on the edge of my seat" moments.  Most people never experience a friendship like Pashen and Valentina's.  They experienced hatred, jealousy, ridicule, assault, brutality, etc.Even though their mothers may have been flawed in some of their decisions, they did great jobs in raising their daughters.  They instilled in them the importance of loving themselves.  Not once did these young ladies feel inadaquate about their looks or bodies.  The person that had the biggest problem was Rhonda lol.The title, Glowing Embers in a Dying Fire, adaquately describes Pashen and Valentina.  Their circumstances and surroundings may seem like a dying fire, but Pashen and Valentina are the glowing embers.
