This will not be a long review. I had no idea what to expect from this book, and it's handwritten style confused me. But this is such a strong and inspiring story. it was a fast read because of the large print, but that by no means takes away from the impact. It's a simple, though heartbreaking story, meant to shed light on abuse, not really for entertainment so there wasn't much to necessarily pull out or quote, except for a little piece in the very beginning:
"Do not be fooled by legal terminology that uses terms like indecent or unnatural. No rapes are decent or natural. The terms are used to classify rapes. A cleaner way to explain things. I think it would be better to label things more clearly for a society in denial. Things like rape of a six year old, rape of a nine year old. By using terms under the age of fourteen or sixteen it does not allow the full impact of what occurs in the life of a sexually abused child to enter the lay person's mind."
