review:
This book is a continuation of the story of the Pischke's with a focus on David Pischke's life. This added a lot more information about life after the farm and life after Domko. The way they were treated as children had a profound effect on the way they assimilated into society - expressed and incorporated into this novel. I found that with this sequel it explained in more depth about this family and the tragedies after already enduring hell. I definitely think this is a must-read if you've read Where Children Run. The investigation aspect gave the novel a suspenseful aspect that kept you involved with the story. This book offers you a look into the lives of an abused family to learn and see what happened.
