This is a powerful story, told with mastery, about a family that's unlike any I've ever seen on a page. While it resonates with all of the classic characters of the Holy Roller world, it's also personal and tender and sad, all in a way that makes you want to keep reading to see how Donna will escape with her own soul intact. Despite the abuse and the neglect, she tells the story without pity or judgement – which, coming from a world powered by sin and damnation, is remarkable. The sins committed in the name of salvation will keep you reading this great book.
