Book Review of Dear Child

Dear Child
bygones68 avatar reviewed on + 63 more book reviews


The main question of this entire book is what happened to Lena? Her family and friends have continued to hope for her safe return for 13 years. As the book continues, we hear of her captivity in a small cabin by a man that has complete and total control of âhis familyâ. Other possibilities are explored regarding another woman, children and a car accident that may hold some answers.

The book is upsetting & violent with twists and turns throughout. I wanted to stop reading but had to find out what happened and why. It is definitely not light reading. I gave it a 2 1/2 star rating simply because I had to find out how it ended.
