Community Reviews
This is the book that started it all for me. My counselor recommended it after I was diagnosed with PTSD. It helped me realize I didn't have to be the way everyone saw me. I could barrel through my past and come out the other side looking a whole lot more like the person I wanted to be. It was a very emotional read for me. Results may vary.
