it was amazing
Read in November, 2015

It's not everyday I read memoirs, but this one is special in some way. Insightful, honest and pragmatic!
Rachel had gone deep down the emotional construct and given the very raw truth and reality of what Childhood Sexual Abuse really is.
Her straightforward approach interwoven with poetic expression also offers an instrumental didactic hand to a survivor of CSA.
Although suggestive in a personal perspective; the volume of raw emotion and practical challenges and pain are a voice to a person/survivor
in the same or related abuse.
This book is simply an invaluable voice to awaken other survivors and uphold their dignity and live their true self amid the emotional and mental burden that abuse has on a CSA survivor.

At times, I had to pause and process the very raw truth and challenging experience that Rachel draws from her personal life.
It is no doubt a CSA survivor will find this book useful and an endearing voice to give up shame and find the sense of worth in who they are despite the stigma that is associated with CSA.
