This was so difficult, but so well written and well done. ( ) Spilled Milk truly is one of those books everyone should read. There were moments when it was difficult to continue reading but I devoured this in less than 24 hours. Brooke's story is heart wrenching but also enlightening. Lots of great insight into how to deal with situations of abuse especially when it might not be obvious that someone is suffering. As others have said I would highly recommend anyone read this but especially teachers, public officers, police, coaches, etc. pick this book up and use it to learn the signs of abuse and that often times you have to let the person in that situation until they are ready to accept help. The biggest takeaway for me was how normal she thought her scenario was and how long it took to accept that things weren't as they should be. no reviews | add a review
