Spilled milk is a decent read. It was not graphic so you understood what went on, but didn’t have to cringe while reading at the horrible stuff happening.
A must read

Although physical/psychological abuse are difficult topics to hear about, this book is a must read. It grabbed me from page 1 as the journey takes you along the life of a child/grown up. A remarkable story of strength, belief and survival.
