Self-Publishing Review ★★★★
"An inspiring, faith-driven collection of powerful wisdom drawn from lived experience and hard-won healing. Both deeply personal and hugely cathartic for both author and reader, the clearly expressed and compassionate prose teaches readers to defend their autonomy and rebuild their sense of safety. The author continually reminds readers that healing is possible, faith is fundamental, and self-worth lies in our hands alone, resulting in a book that has the potential to enact real change."
