Again, just like Jacee Dugaard's book, I found this book rather hard for me to stomach in parts because some of the details were absolutely horrific.

However, I managed to finish reading this book within 2 days. It was absolutely heart breaking and gut wrenching to read about Michelle's experiences of : growing up within a tough environment full of abuse, losing custody of her only son and then being kidnapped and held within Castro's house for over a decade.

I commend Michelle's bravery and strength, and commend the fact that she never forgot about seeing her son again, even on her darkest days.
By the end of the book, I was profoundly disturbed by the story, so much that it stayed with me long after I finished it.

I really hope that Michelle finds the peace and happiness in her life that she so badly deserves.
