Hearing her go thru the emotions of realizing her mother was abusive after she died was tragic in a way I can’t describe

    Yes! 100% yes! It’s one of the best memoirs I’ve ever read. I listened to the audiobook but I will 100% be buying the hardcover eventually. I will say it is extremely intense to read, and if you have any kind of trauma it is very much important to work on that first or read the book with a professional guiding you. I think it can be helpful for when done correctly with a professional to help move forward from parental abuse. I’d suggest listening to her audiobook, her narration is amazing.

    I’m excited for her upcoming fiction writing, she deserves so much and I love her dearly. She’s a fantastic writer
