And with this bk my 2020 challenge is done & it has been fun ,thanks all.
A crime story set in a northern city where a 14 yr old girl is accused of killing all her family. A social worker is called in to help her communicate but soon discovers a web of corruption hiding the mistreatment + killing of baby girls. A disturbing look at a terrible issue but well done. On to 2021

Cinfhen Sounds like a really powerful read / congrats on completing #Booked2020🥳🙌🏻🎉 3y

I've been brutal with books lately, but this one is ringing some bells. The author's note piqued my interest.
