Your review is well-written and it got me emotional. What a powerful book. A topic that isn't addressed enough.

It is heartbreaking to read that this book is non-fiction. Frances' resilience is commendable and glad to see that she is doing the work to heal from such a traumatic experience. Thank you for such a lovely review!

My heart swells with anger when I witness or read about adults who abuse defenseless children! Such adults deserve the harshest sentences

Frances seems brave to talk about her horrible childhood. I am glad she got herself out of that situation. I don't think I have the heart to read her story. Although, I would like to know what her therapist did and what Frances did in response. You did a great job with the review. Thank you.

It is amazing the author wrote about her experience and it definitely shines a light on abuses that people overlook because as you said children so often don't have a voice. It sounds like a heartbreaking story. Great review!
