I didn't like this book. Maran never had any real memories of abuse and then claims without real evidence that others made the same mistake she did. Many at this time had real memories of abuse and proof that the abuse actually happened.
ReplyDeleteAlso, we aren't sure if Maran was or wasn't abused. Perhaps she is being influenced by the media now when denying abuse.
