Mom’s eyes seemed to glaze over. In two swift steps she was at my side. She grabbed me by my newly permed hair and dragged me out of my room. The pain was excruciating; my scalp was raw from the perm the night before, and my hair was still wet from my shower. I screamed and cried as Mom pulled me down the hallway, but fighting only made my head hurt worse.

Oh no! Sounds like one of those child abuse memoirs - I can't read them any more as they just make me so angry that anyone would treat children that way!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Teaser Tuesday post. :)
Wow you are brave for reading a book like that, they are fascinating for sure but it just makes me angry and sad though if you like I would recommend checking out When Rabbit Howls. Brutal but amazing. It was a hard read but recommended to me and I'm glad I got to read it. Thanks for checking out my teaser.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of "A Child Called It". Non-fiction and memoirs are my favorite, but I agree with the comments above: I just can NOT read child abuse ones anymore.

I always find books like this difficult to read, and this teaser definitely seems that way.
