I read this book straight through. I have known people who went through the same problems and this just hit the nail on the head. This author wrote a very realistic book and is right about abuse starting very slowly and building up. I am happy that Elizabeth managed to stay sane and keep her children. I will read more of this author's books because I liked this one.
