This book is written with raw candor, humor and genuine transparency. It is a tough subject but Jill provides hope in her story. I had a hard time putting it down.

Jill’s sense of humor and amazing prose leads the reader through a horrific tale of abuse and survival. Her faith is the spark of hope that never failed. Funny, dark, heartwarming.
