I don't even know what to say about this book. It's absolutely honest and therefore difficult to read, but also important to read. It's exactly what it says it is, so be prepared. It's also a very inspiring book for all those who wonder if healing is possible.

This is an amazing well written book from an amazing author. Very dark and deep subject matter that haunted me from the moment I began reading it. It's obvious she wrote this from her heart and soul and mine goes out to her for having survived such a horrific childhood.
I was especially touched and moved by the ending where she wrote of helping students in her writing class. She has such empathy for others and having none shown to her during her formative years proves that she is not only healing herself but is reaching out in an attempt to help others in whom she recognizes glimpses of herself.
Amazing prose and a way with words unlike any other author I have read. I am a huge fan after reading both her books.
