The Son of Seven Mothers by Benjamin Risha, Benjamin Risha
Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.
Over halfway done, and there’s not enough information about the Tony and Susan Alamo cult, and too much explicit child abuse, and too much information about the author’s eleven-year-old’s erections. I wish that were hyperbole. Literal and repeated descriptions of his tucking it in and its popping out as he discovers girls on the compound…this is not what I signed up for.
Graphic: Bullying, Child abuse, Physical abuse, Racial slurs, Racism, Sexual content, Terminal illness, Toxic relationship, Violence, Grief, Death of parent, Gaslighting, and Abandonment
