This is a book I would read again. It is difficult and heart-breaking reading through the parts of the abuse. Though I have never met the author or those in the story, our bloodlines connect a handful of generations back. These events unfolded in the community where my mom, her parents, and grandparents, etc, were born and raised. It's angering to learn some aspects of Robert's story, but it's also encouraging to read about his victory over his past.

A heart wrenching story of abuse. My heart broke for little Robert, his sister and father.
