This was difficult to rate.
Tara's storyline is winding and the editing is inconsistent.
The first half of the book reads as if it were a written version of Final Destination, but with a family of Mormon fundamentalists for protagonists: who will be torn apart, burned or mangled next?
The second half is what made me give this four stars: the tale of how the main character ultimately saves herself from decades of gaslighting and psychological abuse is worth the read.
