I listened to this book and I think I maybe should’ve read it with my eyes. I struggled when the POVs changed sometimes. I also enjoyed some characters more than others, but this is a fairly solid, emotional book.

I didn’t care for the narrator of the audiobook & wish I had read the book instead. Great story but difficult to hear. The Canadian government and the church have a lot of blood on their hands.
