It is recommended that you read this book in pieces, but I read it all at once (easy to do in terms of length). There are thoughts I could share, but refrain due to the nature of the book and the nature of the thoughts. I cried ridiculously through it all, releasing stuff that has been sealed away for a long time. It was as though this story gave... validity or value to my feelings that are so justly. I plan to read it again, in pieces as recommended, and to take the necessary time to ponder and to continue on this healing journey.
