Eye-opening

This was a phenomenal book. It offerred a unique, unglorified view of the types of situations in which children sometimes turn to violence to escape abuse. A must-read for anyone who finds themselves in a position where they come into contact with children who have been, or are being abused.

Hard To Put Down!

This is a great book if you are interested in the complex reasoning for this crime. The book was informative in that it not only described one type of parricide: it included matricide by daughters and by just sons, and by both genders. They were presented in case study form that was easy to read and understand. Highly recommended if you are looking for a book that isn't filled with the complex psychology of many of these cases (it is from an experienced children's lawyers perspective)
