Quick Assessment

This young adult novel explores the difficult and sensitive topic of child abuse through the six-year experience of Kate, a girl who once lived an ordinary life before trauma changed everything. While fictional, it draws from the author's background in child protection, offering a realistic but heart-wrenching portrayal suitable for mature teens aged 13 and up. Parents should be aware of the intense emotional content and the theme of incest, which is handled with care but may be distressing.
