dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

A heart-breaking memoir that also brings hope for the future. The author's voice is very evident and I felt so much of my own story as I read his. It is so important to write and publish stories like this - both so others know they are not alone, but also so others understand what their actions do.
I couldn't put this down.
