Wow, this was dark, painful, and tense. The different feelings in motherhood and the struggles that are faced. This book was a quick read, and the flashbacks really had my attention. About 50% through the book, I started to hate where things were going. However, I was really satisfied with the ending. A very complex look at sanity, raising a child, and marriage.
