Should Have Called It "Misery"

by AuntieM (WorldCat user published 2009-07-29) Excellent

Good Lord......This poor kid, Precious, has to be one of the strongest people I have ever read about. These parents of hers were worse than anything I can think of. Who sexes their own kid? Sick, peverted, twisted, page turner...I could not turn away from this book nor can I forget the horrors...
