Sexual and Physical Abuse at the Hands of a Father

This novel is about a young girl who is physically and sexually abused by her father. The book is troubling, deep, poetic and frightening. It is also very powerful.

You won't be able to put this down

This is quite possibly the most moving and yet troubling book I have ever read. I wish it were required reading in high school. The book addresses an issue of which everyone in this country should be aware.
