I found this book to be hard going – but not because it was boring, or tedious, or difficult in its style, but simply because the sharing of the telling was painful in its intensity. In fact, I read the book in a short afternoon (just couldn’t put it down) and then spent the rest of the day feeling somewhat traumatised. However, I think its GOOD to come away feeling traumatised, as what that poor child went through should never be belittled or glossed over, but held up there as a warning for some and a beacon of hope for others.
