This book is intense. This book will absorb your tears, and crack at the spine when you slam it down in fear, in anger, in wanting hope for the characters.
I am so thankful for finding this gem; it isn't something I would have picked up on blurb alone.
There are heavy topics through-out, so be warned; kidnap, sexual assault, physical assault are present throughout this book, and yes, you may need a hot bath at several stages to cleanse what you have read but this is reality. This is a raw, unglamorous account of what happens around the world to many women. Too many women.
I finished it, and want to read it again. There are very few books that reach these depths of emotion, and can connect with women, with humans, with anyone who knows the horrors that could lurk around the corner.
I am speechless, and I will forever recommend this book to anyone who dares to read it.
