Ellen Hopkins Dedication Wall: A Dedication Wall.

thank you so much Ellen Hopkins, i have learned so much from your books. I was 15 when i first picked up one of your books and from that day i had to keep reading them. Your books are filled with so much thruth, something i would have never expected to come out of a book. I can relate to all of your books in ways i cant even explain, they have helped me over come some of the things i have been through and also some of the things that have been holding me back from giving my all.......i just wanted to say i enjoy reading your books and i will never forget you as i grow older! Thank you so much!
