This book is incredible. I picked it up because I work with a lot of clients with CPTSD (social worker) and I'm always looking for own voices mad lit to read. I came away having learned so much more about myself and my own experiences than I expected.
Foo is an incredible storyteller and her story is beautiful for it's grit and having come through the darkness. I've recommended this book to some of my clients, I think most folks who have experienced childhood trauma and/or abuse would find it helpful but mind the content warnings and take care of yourself, it's a powerful story but here be dragons.
A story of healing, recovery, intergenerational trauma, and every form of love.
10/10 would recommend.
