I really enjoyed this book. Stephanie’s journey towards healing and self-realization was so incredible and inspiring. As someone who has also been diagnosed with cptsd it was like hearing a big sister give the road map. Of course it deals with really heavy topics, but so does life.

Powerful and moving, the author's delving into her own trauma responses were eye-opening. Her exploration of self and path to self-love and self-acceptance gave me hope.
