I do not even have the proper words to describe how this book has made me feel. My heart hurts so deeply for these characters I knew for only a few hundred pages, for this family I know does not exist but whose pain I could feel emanating from the pages. Powerful words from an immensely skilled writer. I will not be quick to forget what I have read.
