Customer Reviews

A dark reliving

This book is a stunning insight into a dark topic that many aren't willing to talk about. Although it can be a bit all over the place, the way Fargoso tells her own story is astounding. I've never read an author whose work enveloped my mind the way her has, and this is the #1 memoir I recommend to anyone looking for something interesting.

An important read.

This book is one of the best I've ever read. Her recounting of events in this book is heartbreaking but also educational. It's easy to relate to her through her many phases in life. I would recommend this book to anyone.
