I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
5.0

What a book. Reading about Jennette's experiences of childhood abuse was challenging at times, but it was an honor to hear her story. I felt so much empathy for the struggles that were forced upon her at such a young age.

I also swelled with pride when she told of her growth and recovery - it gave me hope for all the other children, teens, and adults who have also experienced trauma.

I appreciate Jennette's bravery in telling her story, as I am sure many people would benefit from her silence. But this is a story that needed to be told.
