What a transparent and well put together read! This book elicits such emotion and allows the reader to feel her family’s joys and especially, their pains. The audiobook truly reflects the author’s various emotions and struggles. What strength it had to have required to revisit the past, in so much detail, in order to relay the story!

Haunting
I wasn’t prepared for this emotional roller coaster. I felt so much sadness for her mom. I also felt so much anger towards her murderer. He was an absolute monster. How dare he terrorize them like that?! This book was so heavy, but the story needed to be told. I believe it can be a cautionary tale for so many women.

Bardzo osobiste, ale jednocześnie napisane w niezwykle angażujący sposób wspomnienia kobiety, której matka została zamordowana przez swojego byłego partnera. Historia dorastania autorki oraz drogi prowadzącej do tragedii, która okazała się być spodziewana i której być może udałoby się zapobiec, gdyby system nie okazał się zawodny. To też historia o traumie i o relacjach rodzinnych, które rzutują na nasze dorosłe życie. Świetna książka, którą czyta się jednym tchem.
