Dwayne Murray does an excellent job bringing you into the book, rather than just the experience of reading it. From every addiction, cruel act, thoughts of despair and scenes of brutal revenge, you feel as though you are living the harsh and cold realities of the characters' lives. This book not only portrays reality in its true sense, but it also projects the unfortunate outcome of homes where children suffer from abuse emotionally, physically, and mentally.
