I've been recommending this book to everyone so 5/5

Beautifully written and really captures the feeling of living within a dysfunctional family - albeit in the author's case, an extreme example. The feeling of choosing between having a family and having sanity is illustrated well.

Phenomenal

Unbelievable story that so beautifully offers most people a small or even big reflection of themselves. I'll forever be grateful for this story.

I was listening to this on audiobook and I ended up walking long after my run because it was impossible to put down. The audio wasn't going fast enough so I ended up finishing in print.

It was equal parts horrifying and hopeful.

3.5, the triumphant ending really saved it for me. I can only read about horrifying injuries for so long

This was a well-written memoir. I appreciated the honesty and depth of the author—I trusted her, which I find hard to do with most memoirists at this point.

I appreciated that there was no tidy bow on this story.

Incredible how in spite of all the pain and essentially brainwashing Tara went through as a kid, she still found a way to overcome.
