The description of this book doesn't give much away so I was unprepared for this sad, dark story. If I had known what it was about I may not have read it but I'm glad I did. Like another reviewer said this book doesn't dwell on the details of the abuse but describes enough for you to imagine. Reading this book made me sad one minute and angry the next, but through all the sadness and the darkness the sisters love for each other and their dream of one day finding freedom shines through and gives them hope.
