Lynn329,
I'm going to start out this discussion by saying I've read the book and was brought face-to-face with abuse. I was shocked, humbled, torn, angry, sad, but most of all, enlightened. If you ask me, everyone should read it and therefore, be armed. The writing is excellent, you will fall in love with Karen, (I won't tell who she is), and you will want to reach out and protect Lynn. You will feel helpless, however, you will feel somewhat vindicated in the end.

Thank you for telling this story so that the Mothers and Fathers of the world may have their eyes opened. Also, for the victims out there...that they may know you can overcome.

This book was hard to read at times, but I can honestly say, I so grateful I did. Would I recommend it to anyone? Absolutely.
