Most times, just when I think that I am going through the worst challenge or that the world is against me, and I eventually hear what others are going through, I pause and tell myself that my life is fair. The book In comes darkness out comes light by Jacqueline Poe is one that moved me to tears owing to all she faced in life.
 
Most of us, including me, always see family or home as a safe haven where we can share our little secrets and be there for each other. Now, what if family is not like that for some others? The author began by sharing her story. She was born on January 28th, 1988, to Lisa, who was her mother, and Mike, her father. The marriage, which later ended, forced the family to move to Kansas without their dad. Her mom can hardly cope without relationships. In the different stories of men, she had something with Solly that seemed to be the worst, as his barbaric nature wasn’t just to her mother alone but also to her, which led to her molestation at a young age. But Mom was more interested in keeping her relationship. What became of Solly, and how long did this continue? More of this is discussed in the book.

The focal point of this book is strength. I must applaud the author's strength. To be frank, I don’t think I would be able to stand this. Even in the face of all this, she was keen on ensuring that her siblings and kids never passed through what she did. It could be difficult for you to make a difference when everyone is against you, including her family. The author’s strength is something else, and I loved how she ended the book by charging us readers to find strength in any situation. To me, it is a survival tip in life that I don’t think I can forget in a hurry. The author’s writing style was fascinating, and her narrative was straight to the point, which made this book very easy to read and understand. 

In terms of the negative aspects of this book, it started without any preliminary pages and also lacks a title. The book seems more like an essay. Also, some abbreviations were used in this book, but their full meaning wasn’t provided. For example, INFJ. I also noticed an error. All this put together leads me to deduct one star. Hence, I would rate this book four out of five stars. The book was well edited; hence, I would recommend this book to lovers of non-fiction.
