"The Kindness of Strangers"

I picked this up at the library and I've stayed up VERY late SEVERAL nights in a row reading it. It's not that I exactly LIKE it, because it's quite painful to read (I've cried several times). But it's compelling, both the structure and the people. The voice in the chapters alternates among three characters, all of whom have very interesting perspectives and each who is dealing with their own issues. I can't really RECOMMEND it, because it's very hard to read about child sexual abuse. But if you can handle it, it's a good book.
