What Readers Are Saying

“This book had me in tears but I'm so glad to read it. The stories are heartbreaking, but the lessons learned that the author explains is truly inspiring.”

— Amber McEwen

“This book was so well written and got me out of my comfort zone of my typical Genre of books. There were so many hard parts to read and I’m sure even harder for Stephanie to write. This memoir not only shows us as a society to speak up for those neglected and abused, but also shows the world that your past doesn’t defy your future. I look forward to ready any future books written by Stephanie. Two things I’ve taking away from this book 1- I need to start running again for my mental health. 2. Be careful disciplining your children in front of other people .”
