This was, without a doubt, the most difficult book I've ever read. Though masterfully written and explosive, I had to take several mental health breaks to regroup. My stomach and heart ached, my anger flared, and my soul hurt; but my life has been improved having read this. Self education is so incredibly important, especially for parents. We can never hope to do better until we know better, and we can never fully know better until we open our eyes to the full force of what happened and is happening.
