5.0
Incredible. At times dark and hard to read but there is wisdom in each chapter and honestly quite moving moments of humanity; grace, insight, and compassion we may not automatically attribute to people in a psychiatric hospital or prison. I may already be someone keen to consider the complexity of offenders but I defy even a person with the most black and white attitude to not be rinsed with a little grey upon reading.
Graphic: Violence and Murder
Moderate: Child abuse, Mental illness, Xenophobia, and Stalking
Minor: Drug abuse and Sexual assault
