A favorite of Austen’s work
Revisado: 04-15-19
Persuasion has become my favorite of Austen’s writing. The storyline, the twists, the emotion, and the characters are all so compelling. This narration was splendid! The narrator’s use of particular styles for each character was pulled off smoothly, and she was able to capture the sadness and melancholy as well as all of the humor in the story. I listened to the whole thing in two days!

In the 1990s, a “purity industry” emerged out of the white evangelical Christian culture. Purity rings, purity pledges, and purity balls came with a dangerous message: girls are potential sexual “stumbling blocks” for boys and men, and any expression of a girl’s sexuality could reflect the corruption of her character. This message traumatized many girls - resulting in anxiety, fear, and experiences that mimicked the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder - and trapped them in a cycle of shame.

Powerful exposition of sexual shaming in the church
Revisado: 09-28-18
This book resonated with me deeply and matched my experience in so many ways. As I work toward an understanding of my own shame and internalized messages, this book made me cry, laugh, and nod with recognition. This book is beautifully written with so many honest stories. It is peppered with humor and personality that keeps the shame and trauma from feeling too heavy.

On a summer night in 2009, three lives intersected in one American neighborhood. Two people newly in love - Teresa Butz and Jennifer Hopper, who spent many years trying to find themselves and who eventually found each other - and a young man on a dangerous psychological descent: Isaiah Kalebu, age 23, the son of a distant, authoritarian father and a mother with a family history of mental illness. All three paths forever altered by a violent crime, all three stories a wake-up call to the system that failed to see the signs.

An in-depth view of the flaws in our mental healthcare system
Revisado: 05-20-16
This book was very well researched and written. If you're looking for a fast paced or mystery style crime novel, this isn't it. But if you're interested in character studies, court proceedings, and deep analysis of a multifaceted social problem, this is a detailed and compassionate look at the people involved with a crime that most likely could have been prevented by mental healthcare intervention at any one of multiple points in the deterioration of the perpetrator's mental state.
As someone looking at a career in psychology, this book really hit home for me. There is a desperate need for mental health services in this country, and the lack of them is a direct cause of enormous costs, both financially (in court costs, property damage, and prison housing costs) and in lives. The victims of crimes like this one, as well as the families of perpetrators, and even the perpetrators themselves pay an enormous price for our lack of adequate mental health resources. This book demonstrates that in a detailed account of the instances in which intervention might have made a major difference, and in shedding a broader light on the flaws and gaps in the intersection of our mental healthcare and criminal justice systems.
