Miracles Pain by JT Keitt opens with Patricia Ann Hall … and she has a secret. We watch as she journeys deep into her past and follow her into present day as she deals with incest, greed, and the pursuit of her sanity. We learn early on that her mental illness was trigged by the trauma of constantly being molested by her father, and guilt follows as she births three children- ultimately diving her deeper into the depths of her illness. The book is broken down into sections, each focusing on a major theme in Patricia’s life.
This book is intense to say the least. JT Keitt handles some very dark and intense issues inside the book, and it is heartbreaking to know that people struggle with these types of issues on a daily basis. This type of book isn’t something that I would read on a regular basis (due to the intensity), but I can appreciate the material and respect the subject matter. I think JT Keitt maneuvered through the book tastefully, and I got an insight into a world that I don’t know much about.
Kudos to you JT Keitt for doing an immaculate amount of research, creating a bold and troubled world, and for really making your characters come to life.
