Abused

Emily Miller knew her life was about to change forever the day her mother said, "I'm pregnant." She'd hear those words again and again—and with every pregnancy Emily's father changed from bad to worse. For years the Miller family suffered through his rages. It took a terrible loss for the family to regroup, and all the love Emily can muster to save her siblings.
