I’m so sorry you had to endure what you did and shame on the people that stood by and watched.
It never entered my head that’s why people liked those happy ever after tales.
I’m a terrible reader of anything apart from medium these days. I have piles of books waiting to be opened. I prefer fiction based on non fictional events like war stories etc but I love a good mystery too. The last books I read were Celeste Ngs Little Fires Everywhere and Where the Crawdads Song by Delia Owens but you would not enjoy those as they’re not happy stories.
