Incredible book. It made me cry and laugh. It surprised me. It helped me. 

I’ve read a lot of books about trauma and healing, but this is among the best. Hearing the snippets of conversations with her therapist were revelatory. 

It was hopeful and honest. I am so thankful to the author.

Beautiful reflection on complex trauma and healing from it. Foo offers her readers a gift with this peek into her life and her healing. Description of her wedding was so joyous it had me in happy tears.
