D.H. Schleicher's Reviews > The End of Echoes

The End of Echoes is an emotionally exhausting read (and I mean that in a mostly good way) about emotionally exhausted families going through extreme trauma and change. Some of the tribulations are repetative, but they speak keenly to cycles of abuse and behavior. Not surprisingly, the author is a former social worker.

Hosmer does a great job bouncing back and forth amongst timelines and multiple 1st person POVs.

This is not for the faint of heart as child abuse and other violent crimes are graphically depicted, but it's all done in a tasteful matter-of-fact way with a focus on the emotional and psychological damage done.
