Ratings and reviews

The author's writing style is raw and unflinching, sparing no detail in describing the physical and emotional abuse that the victims of child sexual abuse endure. Her account is both heart-wrenching and horrifying but is also a vital read as it gives voice to the taboo subject and urges us to speak up.

The plot of the book is intriguing enough to have been able to keep me hooked throughout the read. With so many thought-provoking issues dealt with in this book with such ease and refinement, this book has got me into thinking about the major issues in our lives. Great book indeed and will recommend it to all book lovers.
