This book talks about growing up in a broken home and the harsh realities that were faced. How a little girl tried to speak up but was avoided until she spoke to a family member who insisted she see a doctor. It's not a story of vengeance but a story of reconciliation and forgiveness. Things like this should be called what they are and what they're not. We should not hesitate to move forward without waiting for others to change.
As the author matures over time, she takes control of her own life, making decisions based on survival, not on waiting for others to come through. The book shifts from a child looking for answers to an adult who's done asking questions. It's about cutting out toxic people, including family members, owning your story, and not wasting time on those who don't deserve it.
