The narration was pretty good. How on earth is a grown man grooming a 5-13 year old girl supposed to be okay? I know Wavy needed protection but the book is written so I grown man falls in love with a 5 year old. I feel so gross after reading this book.
Story telling which is thought and action provoking. Thank you for your courageous insight into such important societal issues.

This was tough. The writing is great. The story could be great. Theres alit going on. A man falls in love with a child. It’s gross. The child thinks she loves her molestar. A judge overturns her ruling because an abused (now a barely grown up) woman says the judge thinks less of her. A..
First I was captivated by this heart wrenching story of survival… then I was repulsed by that same story… but I couldn’t stop listening, even through my tears, shouts of moral reprehension, and then stunned silence. I didn’t read reviews until after I’d finished and wasn’t sure what I was in for. It was expert..
I’m almost half way through and hoped it would get better – like maybe some revenge or something! But this is nothing but drugged up parents, completely neglecting their kids and child abuse. One decent young adult ends up hanging around the neglected abused 10 year old girl, caring for her while she grows into..
