I am honestly only giving this five stars because I liked the ending. I appreciated how the mom, Corrine fox-worth, was able to see all the trauma she caused her children. It then went one to her children’s children. I am glad that Corrine was able to be a good grandmother to Bart. He deserved that, and that’s the least she could give her children’s children after she damaged them.


I dislike Bart. He needs immediate help. That’s all

This was my mothers favorite book. I dont care for the "family dynamics" but it was an interesting read.

It was a good book, and the ending was great, but the book did seem to drag on a little bit.

Better than the second, not good enough to push me onward to the fourth...
