Maybe because I’m a boy mom of a 15 year old, but this story punched me right in the gut. How utterly devastating. How do you go your whole parenthood protecting them from predators to this? The whole thing was too real and devastating. I’m just gutted about it. I pray I never have to endure this reality past the pages of this book.
