For the most part, this was an exceptional memoir that was brimming over with qoth emotion.
The uniqueness of this memoir over others that I had read was that Edith has gone on to become a psychologist, and she uses her knowledge to explain trauma and how she has used that to cope.
This book started to lose me when it just started recounting past clients and their issues. Though interesting in their own way,.and at times linked back to Edith's own trauma, I was just reading to finish the book. It felt like two different books had been stitched together..

A harrowing memoir for the first half with the second half being clinical examples of her work with patients as a psychologist. This part dragged on a bit for me, but still learned a lot and appreciate her insight into other people’s problems.

An emotional yet heart-warming read which tells a story of survival and recovery in an inspiring way.

A powerful book that didn't come off as either trauma-porn or as preachy self-help. Dr. Eger's honesty and clarity in recounting her long journey is just a part of her legacy, but it is one that is easy to share and revisit, and that I think will do a lot of good for anyone who reads it.
