To be honest this was the one topic I wasn't really looking forward to. The Oprah books tend to be too depressing and I have read very few of them. I picked this one because for some reason it was on my shelves and I already started two other Oprah books and couldn't get into them. This book was what I call a "typical" Oprah book. If you like stories about severely dysfunctional families that include murder and abuse than hey, this is your book. The only reason I gave it 1/2 star was the character of the littlest sister was great and the only bright spot in an otherwise dismal read. My one word review - Yuck.
1/2 star
