The main character in this book is a victim of human trafficking which resulted in living as the “wife” of pig farmer, Lenn. 

It’s an emotional story because we can tell that the main character is just doing her best to survive while facing so many dark obstacles. 

I was not expecting that twist toward the end. If I reread it I’m sure it would be more obvious but this book was hard enough to get through the first time - not due to poor writing or anything like that, just because of what she has to deal with every day.
