I felt Timmy's pain and agony as far as the abuse goes. I was more fortunate than Timmy was with the men I dated as a young boy. I dated a few men, and everything we did was consensual on my behalf. If wanted to just cuddle with my adult friend that's all we did, if I wanted sex then that's what we did. I was in control. I can't imagine how scared he was as a child with all that was going on. Like me, I am surprised he lived to see 18. I don't know if that ring was ever broken up or if the men were caught.

Abuse is a way of life for some adults

It is a process of ever increasing tests of force to obtain cooperation and submittal. The victim child has no rights. The adults claim that they are victims of the child's imagination. Yet the scars and welts are visible outside and even deeper inside.

Excellent book

Well written, absorbing, and insightful. It is sad that predators are all around us just ready to act when our backs are turned. Love your children and watch them, so your child stays safe.

Hated the mother. The teacher was not right. Timmy needed help. Well, things finally ended. The book was ok, but I don't know if I would read it again.
