Amazing. Deep. Complex. I would love to reread one day with more time so I can deeply annotate.

Whew, this book is so so hard, and probably because it's so well-written. I think it's as close to poetry as prose comes. So much research, so much hurt, so much trauma. Incredible. Would read anything Marzano-Lesnevich wrote.

If child abuse is not good for you to read about, this is definitely a book to skip. The descriptions are extremely hard.
