I always love reading a book that discusses a topic in a slightly different way. Cathy Glass's stories of children she has fostered nearly always touch on the tragedy of abuse whether sexual or physical or emotional. This story explores abuse of a much more insidious nature that is not immediately apparent but when it becomes obvious and explained it is quite horrifying and just as damaging and difficult for the little girl to recover from. This is also a story of the sometimes redemptive power of good therapy and therapists to enable a father and daughter to be reunited and to raise understanding that sometimes reunification is possible and people can turn their lives around and address the underlying issues that led them to become unfit for parenting at one time. I found this book engrossing, riveting, disturbing, enlightening and ultimately heart lifting.
