An intense account of one woman's survival. Most of the legal and courtroom accounts were accurate. On the copyright page, it's revealed that the author testified against her father in court and that the book is based on her story. Given my profession, I was struck by the distinct difference in sentencing ranges. Definitely worth reading, but all the trigger warnings related to kids. 4.5 starsThis just goes to show just how important proofreading your book is. Seriously..."would OF?" "Oxycontin's?" Not to mention the ungodly number of run-on sentences. I bring this up because I thought this was a fantastic book, and it's a shame I couldn't give it a full 5-star review. Editing is writing 101.
Honestly, it is a moving and horrifying tale of bravery and sadness. But if the editing had been more thorough I'd have been able to focus solely on Brooke's voice. Instead, the misused plurals/'s and the disregard for punctuation left me a bit distracted.
This story was amazing. Its very sad what she experienced in life but her story of over coming all of these terrible things is beautiful. I cried a couple times and felt all the feels for her. My heart goes out to all those in the world that has experienced sexual abuse, especially as a child. I cant even begin to imagine how terrible it is. All in all I loved her journey and the ending of her story. She is an incredibly brave woman. Loved this book!!!
I'm going to dnf this book. My heart just can't take it.
I picked this book to primarily understand what can go in a sexually abused person's life and for that purpose, this book does have some new and interesting insights. But, the narration style was lacking.
BadWhat ?????? Really sad story, not written well, extremely confusing characters. Do not recommend this book at all. Didn't even finish the last chapters.
