If you are going into this account of the heinous crimes of Shelly Knotech with the expectation of getting answers as to "why" a person does something like this or what turned her into a person who could do these things, you will be disappointed. The goal of this book is to tell the story of her victims and perhaps her longest-suffering victims, her daughters. This is the story of three sisters' horrific abuse at the hands of the person(s) meant to love and protect them most in the world. I'm not leaving this book with all the answers I'd like nor am I leaving feeling as though justice was achieved, but that is true with most crimes.
This book and this story, I fear, is going to stick with me for a very long time.

Should I give if five stars so people know I recommend it?
I feel bad giving a rating to an experience so raw.
What happened to this girl's is simply awful. Can't be put into words. Please know that this is a really painful read. It will stay with me for a long, long time.
How can a person be so rotten inside? We will never know. I feel so bad knowing she was released from jail. Justice wasn't served enough.
Please read this. Even tho it's hard, the sisters deserve their story to be known.
This book was so well written, it felt like fiction. I wish it was fiction.
