In high school, I read a book about a little black girl. It was set in the 50's, I think. She was given a gift of a blond-haired, blue-eyed doll. I remember she ripped the doll apart to see what made it different on the inside. I also remember she was raped in the book, and she had half-brothers. She lived in a one room home with her family, and had to work at a young age to keep the family going. Does anyone else remember the book? Name and author?

Whoever said "To Kill a Mockingbird" clearly hasn't read either "To Kill a Mockingbird" or the book you're referring to. It isn't even remotely like To Kill a Mockingbird. It may be Toni MOrrison's "The Bluest Eye". http://www.bookrags.com/notes/be/SUM.html

I don't know the name of the book, but it's definitely not To Kill A Mockingbird.

It sounds like To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee but I'm really not sure. Sorry.
