This is a phenomenal memoir, everything about her story, I was gasping in horror every chapter with the things she endured. A must read.

Got this recommendation from TikTok and went in mostly blind, but was pleasantly surprised. Ruth writes like a friend telling you a story and it’s something you need when reading about this topic. I finished it in one sitting and can say it’s a book I’ll probably never read again, but in a good way. 

Crying score: none, but I felt it in my heart and the pit of my stomach.
