I endured this book. Literally. Thought about putting it down several times, not for the incredibly sad, sensitive subject matter but for the incredibly long drawn out detail of it all. What I will say positively, is there is without question no doubt that the complexities of mental health and long term effects of trauma are explored greatly and for that I commend the author.
