I think this book does a decent job of letting us into the minds of the sexually abused--particularly when the abuser is well-liked and prominent in the community. It also gives us a glimpse into the abuser's mind. It provides enough information to let us know what happened without getting into the details of the abuse.This is a faith-intertwined story. Anne's ex-husband,Joe, is struggling with forgiving her. Joe's mother points out that he is also letting pride interfere with this forgiveness.Could Anne have handled this better? At first blush, we might say yes, forgetting that the abused are broken and can't deal from a healthy point of view.
