This book is partially a memoir that deals with the sexual abuse the author endured as a child and partially about her investigation into another case where a pedophile has been imprisoned for the murder of a young boy. She tells both stories with tenderness and dignity for everyone involved, which makes this a difficult book to criticize. Unfortunately I must say I thought the book was weak in several ways. It was structurally messy, a bit drawn out in places and I didn't see a strong link between the two stories aside from the abuse. I do admire the way the author focused on the humanity of all those involved, even the offenders. The individual stories were interesting but the book just didn't work for me.
