This was a tough one for me. Books like this make me want to find the abusers and go 'postal' on them. Then I want to find the survivors and warm fuzzy them. Alex's story is one that needs not just to be read but taken into the reader's soul and left there never to be forgotten. Even though this story was years ago it is still much to be understood about this mental illness, and that is so very sad.

The way it was written it was a little hard to read. The style of writing was one of the show more jumping around variety, and I had to go back and forth a lot, which tends to annoy me. Given that one tiny peeve it was a remarkable read. Filled with all the disgust for the villains to fill an ocean and all the admiration for the victim for the courage to survive and heal. show less
