A House Divided: Suspicions of Mother-Daughter Incest

by Paul R. Abramson, Steven D. Pinkerton

Based on a true story, A House Suspicions of Mother-Daughter Incest tells the emotionally harrowing tale of a mother’s fight to retain custody of her daughter amid horrifying accusations of mother-daughter incest. Searching for the truth behind these accusations, while reconstructing this troubling tale from case interviews, trial transcripts, police reports, and other documentary sources, the authors find in this unusual case an ideal springboard for a serious consideration of the legal and psychological issues underlying the assessment and prosecution of incest cases, in particular of mother-daughter incest.

A House Divided serves as a vivid reminder of the legal, moral, and social complexities surrounding cases involving sex crimes.

This was certainly a very sad book. But, at the same time, it was as captivating as reading a brilliant suspense mystery book. I wish I could give it 6 stars.
