If You Tell by Gregg Olsen

dark emotional mysterious sad tense fast-paced

4.0

This book was a lot to digest.  This is the harrowing true story of a family with an abusive and murderous mother.  The daughters survive, despite a childhood full of trauma, terror, and torture.  There were many parts of the book that were disturbing to read so I can only imagine how the girls felt living those experiences.  I think the most difficult part of this book to read was the hair trigger switch that had the mother swinging from pretending to be happy to being absolutely vile.  
I thought it was well written and I commend the daughters for their strength to escape.
