What Readers Are Saying

Very engaging story, nice style of writing, kept me wanting to know more. She is so real with her story but never seems to degrade those who have harmed her. An amazing trait. It seems that Mother, Father, Daughter all had two sides to their personality. Able to be pleasant, happy, while suffering abuse and terror from with in the family structure. The mother constantly leaving her daughters to fend for themselves was horrifying to me. Certainly shows how we marry a man like our fathers. I think she just needed to get away form her family so that she married the next boy/man who gave her the needed attention and love. She tells us that having a desire to be known in a career, wanting it so badly, keeps a person hiding her real life for the job.

How much physical and mental abuse can a person stand and keep going with it, all the while able to prove herself to be functional and excellent in her professional life? Nancy did it over the years, in all her life, just kept going and not telling anyone of her strife of her heartache. There must be others out there doing the same. When she realizes that Jesus was missing in the life she was leading, she wants to change but still finds it so difficult to end the horror she has made for herself. She could/ should have died from the terrible life she was leading and the terrible malnutrition her body was in. She is blessed to be telling the story. I was glad to see that she came out in the end as everyone can only if they will. An amazing story of courage and desire for peace.
