@Mary I just read the Author’s note in the back of the book today. She mentioned many resources that I imagine had very detailed events in them. Heart wrenching ?

I liked it because it was written in a way that intrigued me and I didn’t realize that it had happened until I read the book. Some parts were hard to read though just because of the subject matter.
