This is a story about the after effects of abuse. The bruises of abuse fade, but the emotional damage and torment remains. I was abused as a child and lost five years of my memory. Now twenty-six years after the main abuse ended, I live with the after effects of PTSD and OCD.
I finished this book in no time flat. I totally related to what the author, Nancy Baker was talking about. I am too a survivor of sexual assault and child abuse and I have had issues for years with anxiety (probably PTSD) and most definitely OCD. I too am an advocate in spreading more information to the masses about how one survives and goes on living. I highly recommend this book for victims and for those families that have to deal with us. It is a must read! Thanks Nancy for writing this book and I want to thank Paula for recommending that I read it.
I can't even put into words how this book has helped me. I thought for sure that the author was telling my life story. That somehow she knew ever little detail about my life and just laid it out there in front of me in this book. I would definitely recommend this book! If there was one thing I could tell this author it would be; thank you. Thank you for showing me that I am not alone.
