For our book club meeting on Thurs 4 April, we read Daddy Love by Joyce Carol Oates.

Jacket Synopsis:
Five-year-old Robbie can still remember his mother. He was snatched out of her hands in a shopping mall parking lot. Now he has a new father, Daddy Love,  a strange preacher who punishes him when he is bad. In the blurred edges of Robbie’s young mind, he knows he must escape. But he is just a little boy. What can he do to survive?

Daddy Love is a taut, compelling tale of evil, terror and survival. A story of every parent’s nightmare, a mother’s defiant love, and the inexplicable resilience of children.
