fleaber 's review for:
The Sound of Gravel
by Ruth Wariner
If you want a book to give you warm fuzzies, rainbows, sunshine and happy childhoods, this is NOT the book for you.
If you want a strong dose of despair, feelings of hopelessness and fury, horror and tragedy after tragedy, I would highly recommend this book.
CW galore. Childhood sexual, emotional, and physical abuse, domestic violence, death, neglect, abandonment, abuse of children with disability. I could go on, but you get the picture.
This book is so horrifyingly tragic, I absolutely sobbed through multiple sections in it.
I’m so grateful that I got a tiny sliver of insight into the author’s happiness at the end of the book. What a SURVIVOR. What a hero!
I think this woman’s, this family’s, story will stick with me forever. And I will forever “count my blessings” I haven’t had to live that life.
