“Freedom lies in leading to embrace what happened”. This powerful memoir is a must read for anyone. Dr. Eger masterfully shows how no matter your trauma, your past, or prisons in your mind, that you have the CHOICE to be free—so chose freedom.

Incredible Life Story!
I found myself incredibly moved by this book. A MUST READ. If there is a book that I will always recommend, this would be on that list.

This was a book that was recommended to me. And what a book it was. A book of great breadth and scope. A book of the triumph of the human spirit in the face of adversity and man's inhumanity to man.
A triumph of the human spirit in the face of extraordinary evil.
A search for not revenge, which will only perpetuate the evil.
A search not to change the past, which never will never change.
A search that leads to being not defined by the past and a search that ultimately leads to forgiveness, not only for the perpetrator but also the victim.
Also a realisation that holding onto the past, which cannot be changed, not only does nothing for the victim but also leaves the danger of history repeating its self .
This is a story of a woman who lost her childhood to the camps. Her early adulthood to marrying young. And much of her life, though she choose a career in which she helped others, she was initially unable to help herself and had to go on her own journey of discovery, and forgiveness.
This is a book I would urge all to buy and read. A book of one woman's refusal to be defined by her past and you may find yourself in there as we all have a past that can drag us down,
A superb read.
