Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Sexual assault, Alcohol, Drug use, Eating disorder, Gaslighting, Panic attacks/disorders, Rape, and Self harm
Although Grace Tame pulls no punches about how she feels about her abuser, her story is ultimately inspiring. She has refused to let the abuse define her and has not given up on the essential goodness of (most) people. It was heartening to see how many people she refers to as "lifelong friends". Her humour is both sharp and refreshing.
