A review by fkshg8465
What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Oprah Winfrey

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

This is a book that I’ll be holding onto and rereading many times throughout my life. It explains so much about me to me. Hopefully, I can use this trauma wisdom, as it’s called in the book, to be more helpful to those in my world and to be more connected and to create more connectedness. Oprah is Oprah for good reason!
