In this memoir, the author tells her story, which is marked by sexual abuse by her stepfather. I find it appropriate that the point of view of the narrative changes as Christina matures. I think this helps the reader to better grasp and understand the perspective that is intended to be conveyed.

Its a work of hard dedication to share one's life story and no less so traumatic that can change the prospective of other at any stage. I really like the effort and resilience of author to share such intricately wooven. And it's not for every one to understand the life story of another and relate.

I'm not a big reader of memoirs, particularly ones centred around childhood traumas and abuse. However, I appreciate that stories need to be told and there does need to be an awareness of the impact of individuals' stories. I commend the author for putting her story out there.

Thank you for the great review.

I feel a bit of connection with Christina as someone who had a childhood experience with abuse, poverty and insecurities. The trauma, the heartbreak, and the struggle to heal and live is usually a great burden. This review is really touching.

Great review! The book pulled me in right away. This is an important subject to read and learn from. I don't understand why it is usually the stepfather and why the mother never believes that he would do such a thing!

I find this book very interesting because what is mentioned in it, truly happens nation wild nowadays. Very well said children lack vocabulary to convey what happened and when they grow up maturing realize that this thing actually is horrible.

Today's BOTD is a memoir that details the author's upbringing and long-held trauma from ongoing sexual abuse by an adult who was supposed to love and protect her from evil in the world. Interested readers will not only learn the lasting harm that comes from abuse, but what to look for in those who may be experiencing the same. Thanks for your helpful review.
