Publisher's Synopsis
This book tells us about a story of a young woman whose childhood was spent struggling to cope with severe sexual and psychological abuse. She bullied by students and teachers alike, and unable to understand what set her apart, she survived day by day trying to placate the monsters around her.
Unlike the traditional memoir of abuse which focuses strictly on the abuse itself, Ms. Lybelle looks deeper into all the hidden ramifications of abuse that take place within a child's mind. She also flashes forward to points in her adult life where we get a glimpse into the mind of a woman who has healed from her past and how she uses her experiences to help others. There are a lot of memoirs of abuse leave me outraged and depressed but this book with a sense of hope that healing can happen.
This book beautifully melds memoir with the beginnings of the therapeutic process. The author's healing is evident throughout the book and such a beautiful sight to behold!
