This book is incredible and a must read for future or current mental health workers. Or honestly anyone navigating trauma and the grief that comes along with it. Stephanie contributes so much to a largely overlooked topic and I am taking lots away from this book.

This is one of those books that completely reframes the way you think about other books. Every piece of this was heartbreaking inspiring and amazing. The audiobook is so phenomenal.
