Query: Could not finish this book

I can read about anything. But there are two things I have not been able to complete because my soul could not take it: Faces of Death (those documentaries about things getting killed about dying and murder and ppl getting killed right there on the screen, monkey heads protruding to the top of a table, the top of the head lopped off while the monkey is still alive and then the ppl eating the brains. Good Lord.) and this book. It was rather pointlessly stringing me along for the first half,although I understood that the author was trying to set the scene of Father Knows Best atmosphere of the 50s. I didn't need all that, and was absolutely sick at what I started to read. The abuse was appalling. I've never read such a description and I, a former cop and avid hunter, was literally ill at what I read. IDK how anyone can survive the reading of this book. I just don't know. I'm forever changed, and I thought I was strong and stable as hell.
