This is a story about a girl, Meredith, who was sexually abused by her father. He goes to prison. He's supposed to be in there for 9 years but gets released in 3 for good behavior. When he gets out he moves into an apartment near Meredith and her mom. Through this book you see Meredith's struggles on dealing with the man she loved but now hates and fears him.
This wasn't a bad book but I didn't find it overly interesting either. I don't think the writing was bad but it wasn't anything special either. I really didn't feel close to any of the characters or the characters situations. It's a descent book that hits hard on a subject that happens way too often. I just thought it could of been better.
