Sounds like it is kind of dark book. That Joe guy does not seem to be a very nice guy.

Dolores takes abuse both at home and at work. Vera puts her through a lot of mental anguish and when she goes home, Joe is there. He inflicts physical and mental abuse on her and then sexual abuse on their daughter. Dolores is tough and deals with it the only way she knows how which seems to work out.
