Title: Howgwash
Review: While I applaud her commitment to exposing Child Abuse and am intrigued by her style of writing, I am horrified that she is so extremist in her views. Alice is obviously well-read and well-educated but some of her assumptions completely miss the mark. She basically made me feel that I am a child abuser. I have never raised a hand to my child. But that does not seem good enough to her. And do not even get me started on her section on Autism! She opens up a can of worms there and never closes it, instead choosing to put her opinion out there and then never defend or back up her claims.I do think there is some valuable information in this book but no one should take this too seriously. It reads like a work of fiction. The subject matter is heavy and heart-breaking but because of her all-or-nothing approach I found myself tuning out early in the book. Please read it, but get it from the library.
