Cinfhen I really can‘t read too many books with child abuse…. It just wrecks me. I was curious about this memoir but I might put it aside for now. Thanks for the insightful review. 1y
TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 1y
Kitta Just finished this and as a cPTSD sufferer I am so glad to see memoirs like this coming out. It‘s hard to find books like this about the condition. Most are very dense and meant for a scientific or therapeutic audience. 9mo
