"Didn't know what this book was about when it popped up in my kindle suggestions. I downloaded the book only because it was a true story, which I'm a sucker for. I started reading it during some down time at work and couldn't wait to get home to finish it. Well written and held my attention. There were a few times where I wanted to stop reading when the subject matter touched too close to home, but it helped me deal with some past demons by forcing myself to continue. Touchy subject, but one that needs to be talked about."

Spilled Milk Based On A True Story edition by KL Randis Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
- I am the survivor of 21 years of physical and emotional abuse at the hands of someone who was supposed to love me and care for me, my own father. Tears are streaming down my face as I finished, 2 am on a Friday night, K.L.̢۪s book. I started it at 10 pm- yes, I read the whole thing in 4 hours. It̢۪s riveting. So many things make sense. What she went through I fear is so very much worse than what I did, but so many things make sense. EXCEPT OUR DAMN JUSTICE SYSTEM! Wake up, social services! Wake up, advocates! To me, this book is a call to arms. More victims MUST stand up and become survivors. So these men can̢۪t practice their evil for 40+ years!!!!! God help America and God have mercy on the evils that earthly fathers do. And shed light on the evils.
- I picked out this book randomly a few days ago when I was bored and just wanted to ready something. At first all I expected from this book was a good and interesting story, but when I continued reading, I found it to be SO much more then that. I was deeply touched by the bravery and strength of the girl, and I actually cried several times when some of the moments really hit me. After reading this book, I finally have an idea of what is it that a lot of people are going through, and I can finally understand how hard and scary it must be for people to open up and seek help when they are being abused, sexually harassed, or something even more horrible. Before even though I've been to a lot of assemblies where people come in and talk about how most victims in these kind of situations didn't have a choice when they first started (the assemblies were most about human trafficking, although this isn't what's been discussed in the book, it somehow reminded me of this), there had always been a part of my mind that thought maybe if they really wanted to get out of it in the first place, they could have a choice. And back then, I never realized there could actually be people around me who might be going through this right now. Looking back at it now, I just realized how arrogant I was before. This book has taught me a lot, and I believe it could inspire a lot of people who are experiencing similar situations in their lives right now. And maybe the strength of the character could also give them the same courage to stand up and seek help.
- This book isn't a literary work of art, BUT, it is an easy and empowering read. The biggest hurdle is reading the painfully detailed descriptions of the abuse. Once you can see beyond that and enter the strength of the author- this book invites you to experience the world of misery so many people have experienced that you may never have been able to imagine. It opens your mind to why people are so intricate and individual. This book reminded me that we are all a product of our experiences and no one ever fully knows what we ourselves have experienced. This book may teach you to be more apathetic and empathetic to others or it may remind you to forgive yourself.
- I love a good "based on a true story", and appreciate the author telling her story, as hard as it may have been. I could tell she's a novice author, but for being such, she did a phenomenal job! It started a bit slow, but after finishing the book I appreciated she did so; she didn't throw in your face the plot. To have the guts, the spunk, and the valor to face such evil, gives me hope for many others. Finally, I love the last chapter; it helped me and explained a lot to me. Thank you for sharing your story!
- Brooke spends her life trying to protect her younger siblings from their father's explosive anger, but she pays a special price. With sensitivity we are walked through the life of Brooke and her family that reaches a crisis point when Brooke decides to reveal her family's secrets. A well written book that rings true.
- This book is OUTSTANDING!!! It is amazingly well written and has your attention till the last word. I picked this book randomly based on the reviews I cannot recommend it highly enough to others. What an amazing story and a great read. Thank you for sharing such a difficult time in your life
- I'm not an avid reader and wanted something to read on the treadmill. So much for the workout. I couldn't stop reading this well written first hand account of the horrors that took place in this family. We need to all be aware and look for signs of abuse in those we meet and not stand on the sideline. Get involved, ask questions and be that bubble for those in need. The world needs more Gina's and Midge's.
