The Choice by Edith Eva Eger
5.0
What an astounding book.
I cried ugly tears several times on my way through.
Recommend to everyone old enough to know that they probably need therapy.
The way Dr Eger works her way through all the ways she did NOT heal from the wounds inflicted by the war and her stay in Auschwitz is a reminder to all of us that this thing called life is constant work. Every day, a chance for more healing, for a better life. To forgive ourselves for the things done to us when we were younger that we internalised as our own fault (because we do, of course we do, that's where shame comes from).
You'll be hooked from the first page, and you wont be sorry.
