I don't have a lot to say about this book.. it was really good and gave you an insight to how the abuse affected him later on in his life... I still just can't get over how a mother could do such things to a child.. it's just.. insane... I can't believe his parents wanted to act like it was all his fault... Dave didn't ask to be born, you put him here, just it obviously isn't his fault... ah just... idk. These books have torn my heart out.

Some books are hard reads not because of the words used but the stories told.
