Description
At the end of the book, we find out that an 11-year-old victim has been the victim of grooming and sexually assaulting at the hands of a family friend. The trauma of this sexual violence manifested in the 11-year-old having extreme physical symptoms: wetting the bed, losing her ability to walk, etc. When the girl tells her family what happened and they confront the family friend, he tries to gaslight them all, saying that the girl is a temptress and that he is innocent.
