challenging emotional inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

A difficult read and very personal account of the author and her interviewees' experiences around trauma and their bodies. Make sure you are comfortable with detailed descriptions of abuse before tackling this book. Having said that, I felt like its last two chapters are full of hope for the future... Very well constructed and an excellent ending for such a hard topic to cover.
