    What a way out of the box. From an entirely different perspective than what is the socially acceptable. I praise the author for her story and the guts to print it. I thoroughly enjoyed it. So refreshing to see someone go against the grain and write the things that should be written despite how hard it may be to understand such perspective.
    I appreciate it.

    This was a slow read, it took some time to identify with the characters, but totally worth the read! As a parent, you start having many ethical dilemmas to consider after this book. It pulled some emotions from me towards the end...

    A beautiful and heartbreaking book, written by a brave author. Written from a unique viewpoint regarding one of the scariest societal "ills" . I had never considered pedophilia as an orientation, for some reason (perhaps I did not want to view it as such, as it immediately becomes incurable). It makes sense and it explains the high recidivism rate, despite severe and extreme attempts at a "cure".

    Such a difficult concept written so well. Strengths and the weaknesses brilliantly described. I have not been touched by anything in this story but feel I have grown by reading it.

    Super gut wrenching. The culmination of events in the end was shocking and you feel sad and desperate for the main character.

    Wow very unexpected events but otherwise a great book, the voice was the only downside but easy to overcome

    Just ok…the idea for the book was good and from the perspective of the mother, however it needed some major editing and more character development in regards to the father. The ending was predictable, and the ‘finale’ felt unnecessary given the lack of character exploration of its subject. There were moments of sadness that could have been more impactful.

    This book needs to have MULTIPLE trigger warnings. Will stay with me for a long time but not for good reasons. Ugly cried reading this. I hated all the characters except Noah and Katie.

    The voice actor was bad, but the story held up. Dark, complex and heartbreaking.

    WOW! I loved this book! I never thought I’d be able to feel like a mother in a book could’ve been me. Usually I could see some things that I wouldn’t do but here it was eerie.

    As a mom this book tugged at my heartstrings. Making me think of how I would react if I were in this position. I found myself judging the parents for their decisions. I did like how it wrapped up in the Epilogue.

    Gut wrenching, thought provoking. Controversial, an excellent insight into real unconditional love.

    Damn, damn damn heart wrenching. I have worked in the field of mental health, addiction, sex offenders since the early 90s. This gave me insights that had never occurred to me. As a mother of a son, I wanted to tear my heart out. The twists, phenomenal.!

    Wow. What an emotional Rollercoaster. Books don't often make me cry, but this one had me sobbing multiple times. It's not an easy read, but it's a powerful one

    Once again, Lucinda Berry has made me think of something that I would never ever think of in a way that I thought I never would!! This author is an author who will either hit it out of the park or not....this one is another knockout!

    What do you do when you find out your teenage son is a monster? Yes, a real human monster.....a child molester.
    Noah, is a troubled young man, who does something that he can never ever undo. And his mother has to decide what and how is life will be lived.

    The book wrecked me at the end.....I was devastated.

    5 stars all the way up!
    highly recommended.

    This was an awesome book. Sad and did not end like I was expecting it to end at all. I don't think what he (Noah} did was right but I don't think the ending was good either. I mean it was a good ending for a book but sad. This truly does make you really stop and think about the way we probably don't think about other people feel about certain things they do.

    Not one of my favorite books by the author but worth a listen even though the subject matter is disturbing and sad. It didn't hold any twists for me hence the three star rating.

    Minus the God parts I loved this book. Having worked with sex offenders I have also come across pedophiles who abstained and were terrified of their darkest thoughts. I think people see these men and women as evil but sadly it’s a sickness and there is zero help available to them to simply know how to live with it.

    I cried when she told him it was ok to go. I said the same to my Dad as he died of cancer and it truly made that chapter real for me.
