Really fantastic read. It touches on some harsh truths that as parents, especially mothers, we might not want to admit but it is written so well, and with such insight. Definitely a book that I will be recommending to anyone who will listen.

This reminded me a lot of The Woman Destroyed. I think I may have to reread this in the future to really absorb it more fully because I’m not sure I took anything significant away from this story.
