Excellent book. Details the life of a sheltered young girl, who is abused by her ultra religious father in the name of religion. I found it interesting that the father was so blind to anything but God, but the daughter was as well, as she still held her father in the highest regard (like God) despite what he did to her and her mother and brother. Some pretty cringe-worthy descriptions of abuse, but they are intregal to the story. I was left wanting more at the end... what happened next?
