Here is an awesome story about two young men struggling in the aftermath of a lifetime of abuse by their domineering and powerful father, who also happens to be a judge who likes to intimidate his family into silence with facts twisted to his advantage.
Jace gets kicked out of his house after his father beats him for trying to stop him from abusing his mother. He drives 19 hours to his brother, Christian, who got out years earlier. His mother promises to come stay with them both soon. They both spend the next few months trying to figure out how to co-exist without violence. There are many layers to the impact it has on them, and they have to work through them to heal.
The audio of this book is probably even better than the print, but I've only listened to it. The narrator does a super job of conveying anger, fear, and other emotions. I'm interested to check out other books by this author, too.
