[Deb · Rating 2 out of 5]

Admittedly it's years since I read this, but the awfulness of it stuck with me. I believe it was meant to trade on the newsworthiness of the then-current issue of child abuse, but the characters were wooden and unsympathetic and the whole story failed to ring true. A very disappointing read.

Good story, strong plot, easy to read.
