I nearly put Last House down part-way through because I thought it was going to be so gruesome, but I'm so glad I didn't. Ward gives us such a gentle, sympathetic look at a mental illness that has been horribly misrepresented by countless lesser authors.
Graphic: Child abuse, Child death, Confinement, and Mental illness
Moderate: Vomit
Minor: Panic attacks/disorders
