5.0
Stunning. So vivid with such economy of language. Sheds a light on the awful abuses committed on young mothers and their babies in the name of religion but without laying it all out in great detail. It was very powerful and strongly evoked a place and time as well as a character (Bill).
Moderate: Physical abuse, Emotional abuse, and Child abuse
