***SPOILER ALERT*****This book, which portrayed a mother-daughter relationship torn apart by sexual abuse, was an absolutely devastating read. As the traditional Buddhist forgiveness meditation phrase states, "we have all been betrayed or abandoned at some time". This book has the potential to hit that nerve in anyone who has had issues with psychological or sexual abusein childhood.
