Bitter Harvest: A Woman's Fury, a Mother's Sacrifice - Ann Rule

Bitter Harvest: A Woman's Fury, a Mother's Sacrifice, a strangely-named book written by the recently deceased and prolific true crime writer Ann Rule, is the tragic and torturous story of an exceedingly unhappy and violent family. Don't expect much of a happy ending, but (spoiler alert) there are a couple of courageous survivors. For this two-doctor family that starts out with so much promise and produces such wonderful, healthy children, it ends up imploding on a scale almost never seen in the suburbs.
