Private Musings of A Girl Bullied in Caroltown is a true to life story about Leslie Siegel's experiences in a small New England town her parents moved them too when her father's business began failing. Leslie was just coming of age. The book is filled with interesting encounters of growing up bullied and gaining strength from it. It shows Siegel's perseverance and takes the reader through the whole process of when her mother called the town "A bunch of Stepford Wives", mimicking the movie about robots wives in a small similar town. She endures bullying at school. And then the scary visits in the night by angry kids driving on the lawn and throwing rocks. The harassment ends when her father commits suicide in and soon she's off to college in West Virginia, but things didn't seem the same when she began writing this book. The truth is the truth and sometimes it sets you free, other times it makes you see clearer.
