This was an excellent book. It was hard to read, and honestly I often dreaded reading it because I knew things were going to get worse for Amanda.. But once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. Her story is so touching and moving that for 15 months she could find the strength to persevere through all of it. That she could continue to pull herself out of the dark hole and try and find some positivity. Even though her story has so much darkness in it, she was able to find the light and this ultimately made the story one of hope. I am curious about Nigel's side of the story because it sounds like they were treated very differently.
