I could not put this book down, and the minute I was done I had to pick up the next book. It is heartbreaking, gut wrenching and an all consuming read. Reading a book from the prospective of a child’s POV living in horrific conditions, and not truly understanding the world around her made this book even more sinister. I can not wait to dive into book two.

Oh wow this book was really good! I read it in one sitting. I just couldn’t put it down. It’s told in the pov of a little girl. This book was very dark. Her daddy hurts her mom and she sees this and calls it the “bad man” that takes over her daddy. This story had my heart racing, I was tense and I bawled. The author did an incredible job and I felt like I was there. I was so immersed in the story. It’s an incredible story of survival told through the eyes of a little girl. Incredible. Please give it a read.

Incredible story from the pov of a little girl who's mother is held captive raped and abused. Caring for her daughter, son and also pregnant again. Beautiful written. Heartbreakingly sad
