There are ample descriptions of his happily married life with Marsha and the extent to which Marsha understands him.

Later, he married Marsha and was greatly satisfied. In the book, it is mentioned that David divorced Patsy from whom he had stephen because they were different an dcould not understand each other. He struggled for his wife, for his son, for himself but there was not a mention of his brothers. Secondly, the book discusses a lot about david's struggle but there was hardly any mention of his brothers later in the book. The author does not give a satisfactory explanation for that.

I strongly wanted to find why David's mother behaved in such abnormal and deviating from the norm ways. Moreover, this book gives only one perspective to the situation/theme of the book.

No doubt, this book indeed helped in enhancing my knowledge and understanding of child abuse victims, but it arose several questions in my mind which remained unanswered till the end of the book. I have very mixed feelings for this book. I literally closed the book and didnot tough it for a month or so. So much repetation made it hard for me to continue reading this book beyond 300 pages. Probably, because It was an exceedingly depressing book and the fact that it repeated a lot of things again and again. It took a very long time for me to finish this book.
