Lilith, yes... the "It" books are very heart-wrenching, especially to those of us who have a past of abuse. It was difficult to read at times, but also very uplifting in the end, to see what this poor child was able to overcome! I'm telling you -- when I read this, I started to think I was raised by The Cleavers! Definitely though... make sure you're in a good mindset before you choose these books.

I'm reading "The Rescue" by Sparks right now and can't put it down!! Very good read!
