This booked has uncanny parallels to my upbringing and distancing myself  from my family of origin. It’s put words to what I’ve gone through.

I always find it weird to rate people's memoirs. This was someone's life and their story to tell. Who am I to say if it was good or not? I will say that this book kept me hooked throughout the whole thing. I gasped and even cried at one part. This is a very intense memoir full of abuse, in various forms, but eventually a woman coming into her own beliefs and standing up for them.

Wow was this interesting. It’s honestly scary that there are people like this out there. I feel so bad for everyone involved because they all need some type of help. I would highly recommend this. I do have to say it wasn’t what I was expecting. All the reviews I heard didn’t say anything about the physical and emotional abuse so I was a little shocked.
