This emotionally engaging story cannot be described as enjoyable nor entertaining.  For a short story, it packs a lot in.  The author excellently portrays the the fear and hopelessness of an abused child.  The characters are well developed as is the sense of time and place.  The sense of despair I felt as the reader was only matched by the relief when this harrowing tale ended.  While the story itself is unpleasant it is so well told I couldn't put it down.
