Great Memoir
This is an amazing story of survival and self discovery. I would highly recommend this book. I give it 5 stars.

A heartbreaking story I didn't want to put down. I can't imagine the strength it took to put this into words and have it published. There were some gaps and I found myself wanting more details in some areas, but I really did enjoy this book. Fair warning, it's super messed up and involves child abuse, but her story deserves to be known.
Reminds me of shares at 12 step meetings
There's a lot to this journey, and some of it is a bit jumbled and leaves you wanting more answers, but overall it's a story that I've heard many times when people are sharing their recovery. Recovery ISN'T always neat. It isn't always straightforward. But we get there in the end and we keep sharing because that's how we keep it.

It was good but I was really dissatisfied by the ending. It just...ended.
Thank you Little A and Netgalley for the advance digital copy.
This memoir is raw and shocking.
Keele's unbelievable story about her upbringing is indeed a story that "must be told".
The memoir feels like journal entries and little snippets of the most horrid parts of Keele's experiences as a child and teenager. I appreciated the way that she chose to tell her story. It was easier to digest the horrific content with the story being told in divided chunks of time like it was.
Keele's story is gripping and I would recommend it as a must read for memoir readers.

I can't rate the book because it is the author's soul and spirit that went into the writing of her lived horror. How can you rate a person's experience? I would have liked to find out more about her healing and journey to where she is now in her life.

This was so so good. A beautiful and painful memoir that hd me gripped from the beginning. Trigger warning for anyone who has endured parental, spiritual, or sexual abuse.
