This book broke me. I mean that in the best possible way. Kristin Hannah just has a way with her writing that just captivates you from the first page. Her books just wreck me.
Every. Damn. Time.
This is the story of Alice and her heartbreaking, brutal but courageous journey from a feral child who is so traumatized that she becomes electivley mute. Julia, a child's psychologist is called back to her home town to help out her sister, who is the town police chief.
This is an emotional book, and I do not say that lightly. I sobbed and laughed and sobbed some more.
The quote on the cover of the books from Booklist truly hits the nail on the head. " One of [Hannah's] most compelling and riveting novels." I could not put this book down, and when I had to, I thought about it constantly.
If your up for an emotional read, I implore you to pick this book up. It is such an important read on parenthood, childhood and the traumas that are sometimes faced.
