My Review:-This wasn't an easy book to read as some parts weren't what I expected, But I think it did need to be said. The way this book has been wrote, it shows that the author has done a lot of research and has thought what needed to be said. There is everything from love, betrayal, corruption and a lot more in this story. The treatment these women go through and how much of it is covered up and not talked about, Paterson has put in this book. Thank You
