The violence and sexual abuse grew in severity as more people, including his stepfather, were invited to use him in any way they chose. I usually take too many books with me when I travel, this time I will have finished the 2 I brought! Niezwykle ciężka historia, która wywoływała we mnie ogrom frustracji, złości i współczucia, która sprawiała, że chciałam ją odłożyć i nigdy do niej nie wracać.
I was not at all prepared for what I read, I do appreciate the clear effort that was put into censoring the graphic scenes of abuse while still leaving enough information to shake me to my core. Half way through the the book i couldn't read anymore because of how truely heartwrenching and depressing it was, that i had to put it down and i ended up putting it off and avoiding it for about three weeks.
The other two copies were checked out when I made the request, and have since been checked back in, requested and transferred to the libraries where the requests were made. She touched my shoulder and told me how sorry she was and I couldn’t hold it in anymore as I burst out crying in the room. The expression of crying silent tears reveals a profound inner struggle that goes unnoticed by others. His story is one that's hard to endure through page after page of torture, beatings, rape, even mental and physical abuse at the hands of his mother, brothers and anyone who came into his life once his father who thought the world of his son died in a tragical accident.
I was reluctant to reach out because all the women who I knew had experienced a miscarriage, didn't seem interested in talking about it.I thought that by reading A Little Life I'd seen it all, but this book is unlike anything else out there. Our friends and family members who knew, checked in on me for the first few days after everything happed. Hiding in small groups afraid to let the world know that we experienced loss and in one of the most gruesome ways possible. At the age of 5, Joe witnesses the tragic death of his father and is left completely at the mercy of his violent mother and brutal older siblings.
However i felt that i owed it to the author- who is an extremly couragous, brave, admirable person for sharing this truth with us that i read it. I started to wonder, could she not see what was going on or was she just grateful that this one child graced them with her presence. I applaud the Joe Peters for having the courage to tell the world everything that was done to him, I only wish he has justice earlier. I'm 4 years NC and in a really great life with a wonderful DH now but the last week's been rough (job, pet illness) and some silent tears have been shed and made me think of that childhood legacy.
No tengo mucho que decir excepto que admiro mucho al autor por ser capaz de compartir su historia a pesar de que en el pasado no las autoridades no se la creyeron.
