I was so caught up in the story that I forgot to mention that it is very well written. So much horror to take in.

I'm still processing this:

"I didn’t want to say that I saw their grandmother pour boiling water over his head. I didn’t want to tell him that I wanted to look for scars underneath his thick blond hair. I didn’t want to talk about it at all."

Thanks, Ellen. It honestly wasn't easy to write. Not at all cathartic, quite frankly.
