Thanks, Anu!

This is a great book highlighting the necessity of a healthy relationship with children as it might impact their mental health in a long term. I hope many people read this book and become conscious of how they influence their children. And I greatly appreciate Damien for not just getting over it but also making it a topic of discussion.

Thanks!

This book touched me deeply. Damien’s honest and raw storytelling allowed me to feel every emotion, and his vulnerability was incredibly moving. It reminds me that even in our darkest moments, hope and healing are possible.
