The kindness of strangers, by Katrina Kittle

The kindness of strangers, by Katrina Kittle

I hated the blurb for this book. The main character, a young boy, “has survived a terrible tragedy, leaving him without a family.” The truth is, his parents molested him as part of a ring of pedophiles and he misses his mom terribly when she is arrested. Why wouldn’t the publisher say that on the jacket? The whole message of the book is, don’t let this be a secret any longer!! OK, rant over, this is a great story and you will be cheering for this little boy as he journeys towards wholeness with another family. You’ve heard it before: most child molesters are family members, neighbors, and trusted adults.
