challenging dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

Wow. This book is so complicated and multi-faceted and the author does an amazing job of taking you through her complex feelings of this case as she peels the onion back on the childhood of the accused and her own childhood trauma. The two become intertwined as the process unfolds, and she is brutally honest with her thoughts and feelings throughout the process.

This was one of the most difficult books to get through based on content that I have recently read. The story centers on repeated instances of childhood abuse and trauma. I went into the book thinking it would have more theoretical law concepts woven into the true crime and memoir elements, but the legals aspects were minimal. While there certainly were important topics covered, it was such a tough read to get through that I had to carefully chose when I would read the book.
