Growing Up Pains....

I hadn't read an entire book in quiet some time/Many Years,lol & I Never heard of this book or the author but I began reading it and I was "Hooked",it speaks of adoption,a mothers lack of Love,molestation,sex,bad relationships,lust,ect.and I enjoyed her life journey that many of us can relate too.For the small cost of this book I think it's worth it,the chapters are short & went bye fast enough to make the book go quickly too. Sometimes we need to hear that we are Not the only ones who were hurt as children..

insightful journey

Lear led a harrowing life that would have undone many of lesser mettle. I found her insights powerful on the effect unloving mothers and fathers have on their children and the subsequent victimization of those children by others (and their own selves). It deals with rough topics but the journey is worthwhile.
