Powerful story of redemption

Revisado: 03-21-16

I had read the book, so I knew what to expect in the story. The details were challenging to hear and, although many details are different from my experiences, it still struck a lot of nerves. It is important to remember that the memories are through the eyes of a child. There are some things that an adult will recognize as, perhaps, seeming implausible...like mowing "acres" of grass with a push mower. However, in the eyes and memory of a child, it would definitely seem like literal acres. So, while some may try to challenge her memories because of things like that, I think they just add validity and authenticity. I would be more surprised if they were described in adultlike precision. The more I learn about how the brain and memory work together, the more I see the truth in her account.

CeeCee tells her story in snippets, but those snippets are enough to give us a clear picture of the battles she faced. As an abuse survivor who has travelled a long road herself, I know there will be more battles to come. But they will be more like skirmishes, for CeeCee has already won the major battles. This book is actually part of a series. I have read book 2 and look forward to reading book 3 at some point.

I recommend CeeCee James as an author.

The reader does an outstanding job of portraying each character. Her voice is easy to listen to. I do not often listen to audio books, but if I do listen again, I hope the reader is Julia Farmer...or at least someone who is as talented as she is.
