The Wonder by Emma Donoghue

Lib is a nurse who has been assigned to watch a young girl in Ireland who is supposedly living, but not eating anything. Lib has been hired to watch Anna 24/7, along with another nurse. This could be a miracle! Lib is determined to find out if this young girl is getting food some other way. She consistently checks the room, visitors to the room, etc for signs of food being given to Anna.  Anna is purposely not eating as a sacrifice to God. Lib just doesn't really understand why. Lib gets to really like this little girl, but can't quite figure out what is really going on.  I really was intent on giving up on this book, but am glad I stuck with it. The ending makes it worth the read. http://emmadonoghue.com/
