I’m totally unable to put my finger on it just yet but something about this really struck a chord with me.

And something else about Charis in particular. I’ll be thinking about her for a long while.
It is of course, well written.

CW for: abuse/child abuse/sexual abuse/sexul abuse of a child/suicide/abandonment
It is not a lighthearted story obviously, but neither is it without Light and hope and even humor- much like life.

I didn't actually finish this one, due to the graphic description of child sexual abuse in an early scene.

Can be enjoyed by anyone of any age. It does lightly tread on child neglect/abuse. Mostly magic. Little story filled with magic (as it would) and wonder.

A woman's story of abuse, multiple personalities, and coming to find The Troop.
"To escape the horror of violent abuse, the two-year-old child "went to sleep" and created the inner world of "the Troops," the 92 voices that shielded her from pain, but that she didn't know existed until adulthood. this is a journey through the fragmented world of the multiple personality-told by the Troop."-Amazon.com.

I read this while at work, and I still finished this book in under 4 hours. It is seriously that good that you just can't put it down. For Robin Roe's first novel, he hit it out of the park. The book is about two teenagers, Adam and Julien, and the viewpoint switches seamlessly between the two throughout the book. There is never any confusion on who is talking or what is going on. Now, the book does revolve around child abuse, so for those sensitive to this type of plot, this story may not be the best for you. While the story of child abuse is devastating (I definitely caught myself trying to hold back tears a few times), the way the story is told will make you feel like you're in the situation that the characters are in. You can feel elation, fear, love, and everything in between with this novel. Everything about this book was great and I would definitely recommend it to others who aren't sensitive to child abuse.
