The writing is fantastic! The audiobook is so gripping, but this story is riddled with trauma, abuse, and injury, so while it can be described as shocking, I’d rather not editorialize. The truth of this book is that it is a powerful story, expert;y written and told, and the content itself, speaks for itself. While there is much to look into about this book, it also knows it’s own voice and limitations, and chooses to focus solely on its themes and the emotions felt which ultimately grant it more impact. Id love to hear more from this author, perhaps a few essays.

I will never forget this book. An incredible memoir, and an unforgettable experience. As someone who grew up Mormon but is now questioning my new path, it’s incredibly valuable to hear Tara’s experience. I just got my undergrad and was CONVINCED I’d never go back to school, but after this, I’m researching grad schools. Heaven help me 😅

I was skeptical at first, but it was a heart wrenching,  and

Shawn! He infuriated me!

 her story is so inspiring, and her resilience sets a standard for myself that i did not know existed. The amount of pain that this woman went through was comparable to Louie Zamparini in Unbroken. A possible 5 star book for me, and, at the end of year, it might be
