Review
First of all, the author deserves a commendation for putting up with a dysfunctional family, defeating her suicidal thoughts, and for surpassing all the terrible things I cannot imagine a person would experience. Her story of being in the dark and then finding refuge is very inspiring. She teaches how our creator, the Higher Power, is indeed a powerful one.
Honestly, it feels like I found a journal that has been hidden for a very long time. This book has very sensitive topics and the author was very courageous to share them along with her innermost thoughts, and she did this in a conversational tone. The only thing that bothers me is its poor editing and formatting, but other than that, it’s a good memoir.
I’m giving this book 4 out of 5 stars. The author poured her heart and soul to share her life story with the intention of helping people. Readers who are battling with their own storms can definitely relate to this book.
