Tuesday is a strong person to endure what her mother dished out. I totally understand where her resentment of her father and brothers comes in. It is sickening to realize how people cower down to the abuser and let it keep happening. Her father's action of trying to save her by sending money to his brother was nice, but a day late and dollar short. Why do parents think that doing something in the future is better for the kid than protecting them when the harm is being done in the present. Sick huh... And why do parents think that if they say it didn't happen that makes it true. NOT....... At eight-years-old, Tuesday Storm's childhood is forever lost when the sudden death of her older sister, Audrey, sends her family spiraling out of control into irrevocable dysfunction. In the wake of the tragedy, Tuesday's mother, distraught and looking for a scapegoat, singles Tuesday out from her siblings to take on the blame for Audrey's death, and then targets her for unspeakable abuse. Suddenly the loving environment she's come to know becomes an endless nightmare of twisted punishments as she's forced to confront the dark cruelty lurking behind the beautiful face of the mother she idolizes.Based on a true story, Call Me Tuesday recounts with raw emotion a young girl's physical and mental torment at the mercy of the monster in her mother's clothes--a monster she doesn't know how to stop loving. Tuesday's painful journey through the hidden horrors of child abuse will open your eyes, while her unshakable love for her parents will tug at your heartstrings.

good book, heartbreaking, hard to understand how a mother could be so evil.
