Kidnapping a latest victim in a string of young boys he tortures and rapes, a self-styled preacher confines the child in a small box and gradually brainwashes him over subsequent years into believing that they are father and son; while the boy's mother, who was savagely injured during the abduction, clings to hope that her son is alive.

Mehso-so

This was a super disturbing book about child abduction. I normally do not shy away from darker material, but I felt like this book solely focused on the fact that child abduction is horrific and it didn‘t really go any deeper than that. Maybe I am being overly critical after reading books like Room, but whereas I thought the writing was excellent, I just wanted more from this book.

Something about this title drew me in... I believe I've heard it mentioned in bookchats?
Looked it up online and was sold!
Hope it doesn't give me nightmares 😱
