What a glorious bit of writing. The Roanoke Girls is a study in the lifelong scars abuse leaves. As seen through the first-person perceptive of Lane, the last surviving Roanoke girl, we are brought along on a trip of small town Kansas and all the secrets hidden behind polite smiles and the pretty house of the one rich family in town. I won't lie; it was hard to read without shuddering at some points, but that only speaks to the amazing talent of Amy Engel. I loved every bit of it and I will be reading more of her work.
