A very difficult read. I read it out loud to my husband and about halfway through we set it aside for a couple weeks before we could come back to it, but I'm so glad we did. It was beautifully written and the core characters are wonderful. It is an important account of an ugly reality of our not-so-distant history.

Heartbreaking and riveting
This was an amazing look at an ugly part of our history. It’s hard to believe that these things happened; but they’re did and the story here barely scratches the surface

This is an incredibly slow burn but it absolutely pays off in the end.
