I don't know what I can say about this book that others hasn't been said better by others? It's beautifully written, painfully honest, and a voice that needs to be heard. It is completely worth the read, even though it took me some time to get through mostly because I wanted to take my time with it, I wanted to savor it. Truly blessed to have this book out in the world.
