A review by dumplingsz
Know My Name by Chanel Miller

5.0

"If I were to say I was healed and redeemed, I worry a victim would feel insufficient, as if they have not tried hard enough to cross some nonexistent finish line. I write to stand beside them in their suffering."

Reading this book was a journey filled with heartbreak, devastation, and hope. I cried a lot while reading and listening. Thank you, Chanel, for your voice, your strength, and your bravery in sharing your story.

"I think of how I want to return the favor; to pull the heaviness off you, to be the one yelling it is not okay, pinning your demons down in the dirt, so you suddenly find yourself free, given the chance to begin your journey, growing on your own, uncovering your voice, finding your way back. I want to stay and fight, while you go."
