There were times when it wasn't an easy read and I had to take a pause from an overwhelming surge of empathy for the author and just what she has not only survived but what has made her so much more stronger.We are so used to true crime reads being from the perspective of detectives/psychologists/perpetrators but to hear from an actual survivor who not only survived his attack but other things as well made it a captivating and inspiring read.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
