This book was a horror story. I bought it because I had been abused as a very very young child and thought it might help me. All it did was show me how lucky I was, that life could have been so much worse. It also rubbed my nose in the fact that this kind of thing is rampant in the world and that knowledge is so sickening and painful and makes me, as a woman, feel helpless and hopeless. This is a book to give nightmares. If I were a praying woman I would be on my knees praying that this woman, a survivor if there ever was one, has the greatest life from now on...she deserves all that and more. I was an adult when I read it and hope it would lay some of my own demons but it only increased them. This is not a book I would read again. I am not sorry I read it but it is one that will haunt me till the day I die.

A strong, brave, and wonderful book.

One of the first books I ever read written by a survivor of Child Sexual Abuse.

Saved my life.
Saved many lives.

Thank you, Elly.
