In The Scrape by James NewmanMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Every time I read about child abuse or domestic violence, I'm thankful that my particular admittedly trying life didn't include whatever brand of abusive horror I'm reading. This is true of IN THE SCRAPE, a powerfully impacting novella of which Poetic Justice eventually overcomes. A generational study would be fascinating of both of these families, to discover in which generation the abuse commenced, and how life will play out in the future: will Jake and Matthew fall into that pattern, or will they overcome? We don't know, but we do have a story that will tear at your heart and leave you pondering most deeply.
