is a perfect title for this book in so many ways. Split is the story of a family ripped apart and up and down by domestic abuse. Jace Witherspoon's dad is Judge Witherspoon, a very well respected and well connected man of the law and a horrible, violent husband and father. Jace's brother, Christian left the family long ago, while he was still in high school and so younger brother, Jace has been left to try and keep his mother and himself safe, and not turn into the abuser that his father is.
This is the first time I have ever read a book that deals with abuse from the side of an abuser as well. The book leaves you cheering for Jace and cursing him at the same time. Fantastic book for discussion. Great, great book.
