Another powerful story from Rachel Thompson

Much like Broken Pieces, Places is a fractured collection of personal essays and poetry focused primarily on the childhood sexual abuse she suffered though time is spent on the dissolution of one adult relationship and the hopeful dreams of another.

Be forewarned, there may be parts that are difficult for some to read but those parts are the most important portions; they are what allow us into the author's deepest recesses and allow an understanding of what csa can do to a person.

Though less angry than Pieces, Places brings more sadness; instead of casting hate at the cretin who abused her, she's showing more of the depression that the heinous acts created - that she didn't even realize at the time.
