There was no overly unbelievable happy ending, but things worked out okay. (I feel that I maybe watch too much Law & Order: SVU that I was able to guess that with such accuracy.) In any event, I was pretty pleased with the way things turned out in the end. I would like to point out that I called one of the major parts of the climax of the plot early on. Even though I knew the whole time that they are gonna get away (Matt says it right in the beginning) I still spent the whole book concerned for them. Matt's story tells how horrible Nikki was and how they learned to stand up to her.and eventually escape.

They have one other sister, Callie, and they lived with their crazy, abusive mother, Nikki. This story is a letter from older brother Matt to his little sister Emmy detailing the events of their childhood that Emmy is too young to remember. Having said that, things here did not turn out as grim as they could have, so that's a plus. I usually try to stay away from dramas, or sad books or movies of any kind. Hmm, this is not the type of book I would normally choose to read.
