How do you review a true crime book written by the only victim? I found myself struggling with this, was it phenomenally written? No. Was there hours upon hours of research? Well no. Does Holly write about one of the most traumatic experiences of her life and share how she managed to survive and thrive despite it? Yes!
Holly tells her story and doesn’t shy away from the gruesome details and I kept wondering how does she have the strength to write about this? How does she retell this story as part of her job? I enjoyed hearing Holly’s story from Holly, and that’s what makes this one unique. If you’re only interested in learning more about the railroad killer there are probably plenty of other true crime books to pick up. But if you’re more curious about Holly, and how she’s turned the worst experience of her life into a driving force for change then pick up this book and read about her story
