Taylor Evan Fulks

Could not stop reading this book.
What Taylor went through was tragic and horrific.
It shows abuse really can shape a person and affect their whole lives.
It is a tough read but do not let that put anyone off. It is very well written and a story that needed to be told.
Although some reviewers of this book have said they understood how the mother came to ignore what was going on, I could not. How can someone ignore, and by doing so condone, what was happening under their very nose. Much less when it is happening to their own child!
It did feel like I was reading a train wreck at times, as she seemed to go from one abusive relationship to another, but all the time I was really willing her to find her HEA.
A well written and necessary book.

This is more than just an amazing story. It took a lot of courage for Ms Fulks to tell this story the way she did. I known that some have criticized her for being to graphic in her depictions. Well, child sexual abuse is graphic and sickening. It cannot be sugar-coated. This book will bring you to tears, and make you feel uneasy. I hope it does, because it is all too frighteningly real, and continues to happen in our communities each and every day. Ms Fulks' writing style is very earthy and to the point. I hope that her story will be read by many, and that many lives will be changed by it. If the cycle of abuse is stopped for just one victim, one family, then your book has been a success Taylor. Thanks again for your courage in putting this work together...… (mais)
