This book is so powerful. Anyone who grew up in an evangelical religious home/school/church should read this. It’s helped me feel seen and heard, helped me confront the shame I’ve internalized for years, and helped me see that there is a road beyond and I am free to walk it how I choose.

This book goes through so many areas of trauma. Be careful when reading it if you’re concerned about triggers.
