Raised by Wolves: Trapped by Demons
This is a memoir about a woman that came into the world feeling unloved and unwanted at a very early age. Raised by an alcoholic father and a cold ,detached mother, she must make her way in the world based solely on her instincts. A victim of childhood abuse, sexual and physical assault, she learns to accept the unacceptable in order to survive. A major pattern of self-destructive choices begins to emerge. A major portion of her life was spent uncovering, forgiving, resolving that pattern. She still had decades to live before she would recognize what that pattern meant. The intention of writing the bare unadorned truth of her life is to be an example to other women. To reveal to other marginalized women to never give up. Anyone can weather post-traumatic stress and psychological issues if they have the will to live. The will to keep living life no matter what it would generate.

Mimi Tallo wrote a memoir called "Raised by Wolves in which she described her traumatic childhood experience.Her father was an alcoholic, and her mother was cold and distant.I'm delighted the author published a book that explains what abuse is.Mimi Tallo discusses her life's path, which has been marked by various setbacks, in this book.
"Raised by Wolves" is a crate full of emotions, stories, events..She learned to accept the unacceptable in order to survive.Author hopes that by publishing this book, she can raise awareness among those who have been victims of abuse, sexual and physical assault.Expect a book that gives you a story about resilience and hope.The book is written in a comparatively easy language.
The book's narration is fast-paced.This is an inspirational book for everyone, and it will inspire people to never give up in life.The book's cover page is simple but appealing, and the title is appropriate for the content.
Anyone who is looking for inspiration,strength,and courage this book is a worth read for them.Anyone who feels that their fate is bad and nothing can be done this book will give them the hope.Mimi Tallo shared her experience of how harsh her life had been and how she
managed to overcome those obstacles.

A trip through the decades
This book is one feisty woman's story of her life over many decades up to the present. I liked the book as she certainly has lived through many unique seasons. The writing is very plain spoken. You can tell there is a teacher hiding somewhere inside her because every new word, concept, place, or thing is carefully explained to the reader like as to a student. Barring this odd way of writing it was still an enjoyable memoir.

This author is inspirational, showing how never giving up can be worth it. She goes through many difficult things in her life, and in this biography, she shows us how she managed to survive the chaos of the world around her, all while dealing her inner chaos as well. Anyone looking for a string of hope to hold on to should read this book.

Riveting honest account of an interesting life

Update on “Raised by Wolves Trapped by Demons “. Many people have asked if there will be an audiobook. I have contracted with a narrator for an audio version. Hoping it will be available in a few weeks. Excited!!
review by Rev. Taylor Stevens “It is rightly said that only when you fully own your story are you free to write the ending. Mimi Tallo decided to fully own her story. Not only did she decide to own it, she courageously shares it in this beautifully and authentically written book. While Mimi still has much living to do she clearly demonstrates that the ending is now on her terms.
This is not a woe is me missive. It is a heroines tale of pain, abuse, adaptive poor choices, and then ownership and transcendence. Ms. Tallo proves that regardless of past wounding great possibility is always available. She is a brave beacon of boundless potential.
Relentless honesty and unsparing authenticity make this a book about great hopefulness. It lights the way for others to also triumph over.”

Finally someone wrote the truths of growing up in a dysfunctional family and not knowing why we keep making the same bad decisions over and over again. Thank you for bring a light to so many of our own struggles. I laughed. I cried, and I’m so proud that this story was told. This woman had a remarkable life and I’m glad she shares it.
