The Sound of Gravel: A Memoir by Ruth Wariner

challenging dark sad fast-paced

5.0

God this was a painful read.  I love a memoir, and got this recommendation after saying how much I enjoyed Educated by Tara Westover.  Similar vibes for sure but I was quite shocked by just how disturbing this was.  I usually am not too bothered by dark topics but wow, I had to set this down and take some breaks.  I am glad I picked it up, but will probably not be recommending to others without a heavy warning of it's inclusion of graphic sexual child abuse.  Very interesting, heartbreaking, and impactful.
