Afflicted with a chronic debilitating condition, Suzette Jensen knew having children would wreak havoc on her already fragile body. Nevertheless, she brought Hanna into the world, pleased and proud to start a family with her husband Alex. Estranged from her own mother, Suzette is determined to raise her beautiful daughter with the love, care, and support she was denied. But Hanna proves to be a difficult child. Now seven-years-old, she has yet to utter a word, despite being able to read and write. Defiant and anti-social, she refuses to behave in kindergarten classes, forcing Suzette to homeschool her. Resentful of her mother's rules and attentions, Hanna lashes out in anger, becoming more aggressive every day. The only time Hanna is truly happy is when she's with her father. To Alex, she's willful and precocious but otherwise the perfect little girl, doing what she's told. Suzette knows her clever and manipulative daughter doesn't love her. She can see the hatred and jealousy in her eyes. And as Hanna's subtle acts of cruelty threaten to tear her and Alex apart, Suzette fears her very life may be in grave danger...--Amazon.com

Couldn't put it down submitted by KimB on July 23, 2019, 1:24pm I read this in one evening, I truly couldn't put it down. That being said, the audience that will enjoy this type of story is probably fairly small. It's a pretty dark subject. But it is well written (yet still easy to read) and the author does an excellent job of writing from both an adult and child point of view, as well as writing from a point of view that could be mentally ill or suffering.

Would not recommend submitted by selujules on July 29, 2019, 6:32pm I did not enjoy this book. Dark, creepy, and made me uncomfortable. If you're looking to explore similar subject matter is a better package, check out Room, We Need to Talk about Kevin, and/or Defending Jacob.
