This was a hard read. Any type of molestation of children will chisel deep into the souls of the readers. Ryll is so creative that she dealt with the pain, the ugliness, the horror and explained it in a very intelligent manner. The story whirled around a couple that neglected each other 's feelings and the ability to see the pain happening to their little girl. This was alot of realism as to the descriptives of the characters involved in this story. A very excellent read for adults to enjoy.
