This story will awaken you to the truth about child abuse and the ability to make a difference and stop child abuse.
Critical Analysis
I rate this book at 10 out of 10 because although the beginning of the story tells you what this story will be about, you still feel the pain of the character. During the whole book I was hooked and couldn't stop reading until the very end. Child abuse is a very serious topic and this book will make you want to change as a person. If you want a sad, heartbreaking story and this book is for you.
