Marilyn’s Story

 Nonfiction by Louise Allen

https://www.amazon.com

Twelve-year-old Marilyn comes to foster carer Louise looking uncannily like the American film star she was named for. It's a little disturbing when a child so young looks like an adult woman in red lipstick, but it gets worse. Louise asks for help from the state but gets more trouble instead.

This was an interesting story but also kind of upsetting.
