This is a beautifully written book, with great characters and it is so difficult to read. This is the story of Lulu and Merry. When the girls are small, their dad kills their mother, slices Merry open, and then fails to kill himself. He is sentenced to life in prison and the girls are sent to live with their maternal grandmother. Upon her death, they are abandoned to the foster care system. This book follows them as they grow up and try to build lives of their own, never losing sight that they are all each other has. They both struggle with guilt and their complicated feelings for their father. It was really really haunting and good but not for the faint at heart.
