Spilled Milk: Based on the true story by K.L Randis
$6.94
In the novel Spilled Milk by K.L. Randis, it was when a young boy, Joseph, spilled his glass of milk and his father did not become enraged or beat the boy that Brooke Nolan realized that her family was not normal. Brooke was eating dinner with her boyfriend’s family and was already impressed by the way they discussed their day and joked with one another over dinner instead of bickering and hitting when the milk was spilled. Accustomed to protecting her younger siblings when they made mistakes, Brooke jumped to see to it that Joseph was not physically hurt. Brooke could tell by the looks she got from Joseph’s parents that she was the one acting strangely.
“Randis later would testify at a criminal trial against her father, who was sentenced to prison for his crimes [of child abuse]. He was sentenced to up to 16 years in 2004. Her painful — and ultimately triumphant — story is recounted in Randis’ first novel, “Spilled Milk.”
