Well written memoir. written by a very brave, and obviously intelligent author with valuable insights to share.

I loved the vulnerability the author showed throughout a difficult journey of discovery and healing from childhood trauma. I particularly appreciated the honest way she was willing to write about the moments with her 4 kids. I enjoyed the book and recommend to everyone, but especially those struggling with perfectionism, performance based self worth, and those questioning or considering the ever growing field of psychedelic therapy.

narration!!!

It's no surprise that the award winning talent that is Meryl Streep came through once again with an unforgettable performance. I enjoyed the narration and the beautifully written words in equal measure. loved it!!!

beautiful!!

Revisado: 10-14-22

I usually don't consider novels, as I typically gravitate towards memoirs and other nonfiction, but I'm so thankful I deviated this time! After hearing the author interviewed recently on Glennon Doyle's podcast I thought I'd check it out.
The story is so rich and layered, so beautifully written it brought me to tears. The narration by Lucy Liu was masterfully performed.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who has ever lost something of the highest value, anyone who's been marginalized, all woman, particularly all the mothers out there.
This story will stick with me for a long time!

finally an accurate portrayal of domestic abuse

Revisado: 04-10-22

I've read dozens of books on the topic of abuse. The way this author described her abuse in detail --especially the emotions she felt and the self talk required to survive each incident--deeply resonated with my own experience. I think anyone who has experienced intimate partner abuse will relate to this author's story. It's almost impossible to explain (to the average person) the circumstances of our lives or to or describe in any accurate way the state of mind in which we must exist when living with an abusive partner. There's just too much happening--all at once, and on many many levels-- and the unrelenting nature of having to remain constantly vigilant is too overwhelming to put it lightly. This book was so thoughtfully and honestly written, my heartbeat quickened each time she described her terror and my heart swelled when she described the hope and courage she was able to harness from within herself with the encouragement of her therapist and friends. Anyone interested in peeking behind the curtain of a home plagued by domestic violence should read this book. She does a fantastic job shedding light onto the darkest of places. We need more books written on this topic.

witty and relatable

Laughed out loud at several moments. The Next Life No Men chapter rang true and, in light of it, the spirit guide reveal was hilarious. The book reads like chatting with a friend.

for everyone. this book is the perfect blend of research based information and capivatingly intense personal narratives of several victims and survivors of domestic abuse. I will not forget the stories of the women featured in this book.
