I am still trying to get through the book. My chest hurts and I cry a lot. I know Don was killed in prison, but that is small comfort. Is there anyone out there who is hurting over this book? I can't talk to my family or husband, since they don't like to hear about those things, and I'm trying to become strong so when I retire I can work with abused children in some way. This has been the hardest account for me to get through. I read the Dave Pelzer series and A Beautiful Child, and they affected me without a doubt, but I finished those rapidly. I can only get through Ursula's story a few pages at a time. I already skipped to the back and read about the signs of child abuse. This book makes me feel cold and deeply, deeply sad. It makes me wonder about life after death, whether our justice system is effective, what can I do to help? I have these questions that are keeping me awake at night. I just have to know if there are many others who carry Ursula in their hearts...
