I didn’t realize this was an Oprah book until I was about halfway through. I should have known though because the book is so depressing. The main character is a woman who is Catholic and is married to a man that treats her horribly. To make matters even worse they live with his elderly parents who treat her like a slave and either ignore or insult her children for sport. I think the next book I read is going to need to be a little more uplifting.
