This book is a survival book about domestic abuse with key components to help someone going through abuse right now. This book is written from the heart and it doesn't just tell you an abuse story. It cinches in the gut what it means to be abused with real journal quotes and then taken to a new level of understanding 20 years later. This book is not a retelling of the authors journey but a statement of when, what, and how she survived. This book outlines and supports what abuse not only looks like but also touches on the topics of suicide, murder, and sex. Neither of these are the highlight because the highlight of this book is survival. In every chapter there is a survival lesson along with motivation to continue reaching for that next day and, during this read, you will absorb the energy to fight.
