This was based on a true story. The author states so in the beginning and states that the writing was begun for personal therapy.kandscreeley wrote: ↑31 Aug 2018, 07:34 The way you approach this it almost seems like it's based on a true story. Since it's in the Crime/Thriller genre, I'm going to guess it isn't. In which case, I just don't think I could handle the graphic nature of the story. It sounds pretty appalling as far as what the children had to endure, and I just can't stomach something like that. Thanks for sharing this one with us, though.

- Latest Review: Why Me: Trash Collector, Mental Issues by Nikolay N Bey
The book seems to be a very troubling read, so your initial warning is quite relevant and helpful. Indeed, atrocities such as those described in the piece are more heartbreaking and more deplorable if done by those we trust. Any form of abuse, harm, or any form of undue disadvantage onto others is and should not be tolerated but instead resolved and dealt with regardless of whoever the perpetrator is. Care and caution must be taken, though, not to readily generalise or judge everyone just because of the identified misdeeds of a few. It would help to think that we are all humans who err in one way or another, although in a varying manner, frequency, nature, or volume; yet, we were still deemed worthy of a chance at redemption. I do hope that justice prevails and things get resolved in this fictional work as well as in real life eventually and ideally.

Thanks for a great review. I also thank you for the warnings, these subjects, although crucial, are not suitable for everyone.
