amuck's review against another edition

As an abuse surviver, one who had their freedom locked away in my own 'home', it became rough to keep listening. I won't write the book off completely, just come back to it at a later date when I feel more confident in myself to read it objectively, instead of getting mild-moderate triggers through some of the language and situation.
