If I could give this book more stars, I would. This book is truly the definition of horrifyingly beautiful, there were moments I had to take a step back and think about what I had just read. I almost felt a sense of stockholm syndrome sweep me up as the book was coming to a close. A powerful book, a message for those who listen and the sanctity of innocence all neatly tucked in black and white.
