This has to be one of the most poignant heart wrenching books I have ever read in a long time.

A woman so driven to protect her child she takes his life.

We often hear about women who murder their children and those of us mothers cannot understand how someone can do that, but the truth of the matter is it is all in this book, how Julie was abused from an early age, it continued into adulthood and beyond, so driven to protect her child she thought the only way out was to kill him to save him from an abusive father.

Every person who has a child or intends to bring a child into this world should read this book and understand if you abuse a child and then it continues into their adulthood they too become the bully, will demonstrate abusive and mental cruelty to their own because it is what they were taught as children. No child deserves to be killed because of another person’s action.

My heart goes out to Julie for having to live with her actions, but I can understand how and what she had to endure at the hands of her husband and only killed her child to protect him.
