What I'm Reading: Little One by Olivia Muenter

A review of a suspense story about childhood trauma and memory

LITTLE ONE by Olivia Muenter

Catherine West grew up in a small communal farm in Florida. A decade later, a reporter has come asking questions about the later years of the commune. Was it a cult? What really happened when Catherine left? She must face those questions and some of her own. This was a beautifully-written, gripping tale of memory and how childhood trauma can shape a person. I highly recommend it.

Thank you to Little Brown and Company and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advance copy.
