This was a very moving book. All of the books from Torey Hayden have been very moving, in my opinion. It is so sad to see what some kids go through. I would recommend all of these books.

Hard to comprehend, but I’m grateful the author shared and believed Jadie’s story.

I don't know if I could have finished this book if not for 2 factors: a desire to complete Stina's challenge and the fact that I am starting a master's program in psychology next month. This examination of one teacher's relationship with a troubled young girl and the horrific secrets she shares is not cheerful reading, but it is compelling. The most significant aspect of the book for me is the uncertainty of the author as to whether this child is the victim of horrible ritual abuse or of somd form of psychosis or both. Disturbing and unsettling but with a hopeful if murky ending.

This was was pretty disturbing to read but on the other hand it was quite interesting. I think I'll read more books from Torey Hayden in future (:

Torey Hayden's books are as riveting as I remember them, and just as uncomfortable and hard to get through. This book was as frustrating as it was intriguing due to the lack of knowledge that both Torey and the reader have. It would be very, very nice to know so much more, but the fact that there wasn't more also added to the story. Well told. Very sad and very hard to read.
