PLEASE be aware that this is a very descriptive book and it was a exceedingly difficult book to read.
This is the hardest most gut-wrenching book I have ever read, but one of the most engrossing and captivating. This book is filled with horrifying secrets and gives extremely graphic descriptions of each horrid act committed and forced upon others. Sometimes having a vivid imagination is not a good thing and there is nothing you can do to stop or block the images from pouring in. I hope to never read another book like this again.

>> A portion of each of her book’s sales goes to Vera House, a local agency whose mission is to prevent, respond to and partner to end domestic and sexual violence and other forms of abuse. <<
This has a lot of CW/TWs - very graphic sexual assault/sexual violence (rape, incest, pedophilia), murder, spousal and child physical assault/abuse, kidnapping, animal death (killing), gore, grief, gaslighting, emotional abuse, injury details, torture, bullying, blood, mention of excrement, alcohol, alcoholism.
I was honestly hoping the dad would be found out by child protective services or law enforcement, but he just kept doing it and getting away with it and the mom was such a POS that she kept letting it happen without trying to help her defenseless children.
