This was a tough book to read, so much neglect and violence. In parts it was so hard to stomach what those children had to go through. 

I cannot imagine having to live through such hardship, and under such a pig headed man, who was nothing short of a conspiracy theorist. 

It was totally understandable that she has a breakdown and stops believing her own version of events, the gaslighting and abuse was there from day one.

I was good to know that she got out and that she was able to get herself an education, and build back a family, and a safe space. 

Unbelievable in parts. It was wild.
