The story is told in a factual manner. It was almost like reading a police report because the author did not delve deeply into the emotional scars that the molestation must have carved into her psyche. It is written with a flat affect. Perhaps this book was her first attempt at healing herself now that she is an adult. I was looking for a little more. I was hoping to learn how the author was able to put horrific abuse behind her. Her Grandparents did not rescue her from her narcissitic birth mother until she was almost a teenager. The deep scars that continue to color her life in dark colors are not revealed. This prevents the book from helping others who may be looking for guidance after growing up in similiar situations. I hope that Crystal is further on the road to healing herself by facing the emotions she appears to be hiding from in this book.
I felt so terrible for this woman, having to endure all that she went through. I am thankful my parents were never like that. they were the exact opposite and I relish that I will never be like this woman's mom to my own children. I hope she a.d her husband get to have more kids.#thought-provoking
I don't know what her other books are like but this one was really bad. I'm not sure what role Crystal played in this book. It seems to me that the person this abuse happened to wrote it themselves, based on their memory, partly as a child and partly as an adult. If your goal is just to hear a story and know you're not alone or maybe this prompts you to donate etc, then fine. But if you're looking for a true story written by a real author this isn't the book.
The author is trying to speak in the victims' voice. It is a sad story and the victim allowed her experiences to affect her life somewhat negatively. I am glad she was finally able to move in with her grandparents. I will read other writing by the author.
I feel so terrible for this poor girl. Thank god her grandparents rescued her. I hope she gets through all of her scarred childhood soon. This book made me cry. Her mom should be arrested for what she did to Crystal.
A special place far beneath what the human eye can see of this lands soil is an eternal afterlife for those individuals and the despicable and cruel acts they carried out during their lifetime.
This story left me confused with the author. The story starts off as a narrative but then transcends into first-person, and at that point I just got lost. I bought the book based on, and what I presumed to be, a true story but the story read more like fiction instead of a non-fiction/memoir.
