The blurb and description already signal what will be inside the book, and the author's voice is already advertised as powerful, but the excerpt surprises despite already high expectations.
This promises to be a painfully honest novel about things not so many can claim to have gone through. We are introduced to a person that has found their voice after so much trauma and humiliation. The graphic descriptions of the drunk stepfather, the emotionally distant mother, the cruel brother are all versions of suffering, portrayed with the sureness that can only come from really having witnessed it call. I can't wait to read this!
