This book affected me lik no other, one of my fav reads of the year. It was informative, inspiring, and tragic all in one!!! I learned so much about C-PTSD and I think the author is such a brave soul for laying out her healing journey and processing her grief and pain so publicly. I just want to giv her a BIG hug!!

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

i don’t rate memoirs typically so i won’t give a star rating, but this is possibly the most important book i’ve read on CPTSD and highly encourage anyone who has this diagnosis to read it if they are able.
