Whew, this book is so so hard, and probably because it's so well-written. I think it's as close to poetry as prose comes. So much research, so much hurt, so much trauma. Incredible. Would read anything Marzano-Lesnevich wrote.

If child abuse is not good for you to read about, this is definitely a book to skip. The descriptions are extremely hard.

The way this book is written tears you apart. Lesnevich definitely put her time and research into this book in a way that makes it clear the imprint the case left on her. The indepth research of the case overlaid with her own story was very well-done. Neither overpowered the other. Once I started this book, it was hard to put down.
