I am giving this book 5 stars because the emotion that I felt from this story was so strong. This book is definitely not for the faint of heart. However, the message is so important and the story is just so good. It speaks a lot about trauma bonding and how to recover. Additionally, how others can misunderstand trauma that is experienced especially if they were not a witness to it.
