Of Love and Other Demons

As we progress throughout the book, Of Love and Other Demons, I start to feel more and more sympathy for this little girl.  Sierva Maria is only twelve years old, and still, she has gone through more pain and suffering then anyone should have to.  They believe they are curing her of her sickness when in reality there is nothing wrong with her and they are only making things worse.  As the reader you wish there was something you could do or that there was someone to come to her rescue and help Sierva Maria.  But so far there is not, and sh doesn't have a voice of her own to stand up for herself.
