I received an ARC, ahead of release, through St Martin's Press through their influencer program.
Daniella's story is incredibly powerful and inspiring...showing the strength of a woman who's been through so much. As the first memoir, I've ever read it had me extremely emotional and required a few breaks to get through.
There were so many words that I strongly related to...some that reminded me of my teen years when I couldn't possibly fathom surviving until 18. The idea that I could survive my youth seemed impossible...either my abuser would end me or I'd end myself...I saw no other way. As an adult, I'm incredibly happy that some little tiny voice always told me to keep going no matter how much I tried to drown it out. Other words inspired me and had me wishing I read those words when I was going through my own trauma.
Incredibly powerful and moving read... everything Daniella experienced and overcame...unimaginable pain and trauma that she endured and persevered through.
