The journey thru Alicia, Norah, and Jessica's childhood is so emotional.  I cannot begin to imagine the cruelty that these girls endured at the hand of Miss Fairchild. 
When some boned are found, they are brought back to Wild Meadows 25 years late. Who do they bring to? What happened? Do the girls know? I was shocked to find out what really happened. The very ending left me speechless and wondering how can there be such evils in this world?  I do recommend this book. However,  there's triggers for abuse and foster care. 
Thanks to NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
