Gut wrenching story

Found the author on TikTok and decided to listen to her story. The story had my stomach in knots knowing that this actually happen to someone. In the end Anna got the best gift from her situation. I would recommend this book to my friends.

WOW

I think everyone should read this. It is so raw and I could feel her emotions the entire time. This book is amazing and I’m glad I followed her on tik tok and found this book. Her story should be heard everywhere.

Heart wrenching

This is a heart wrenching story of pain, strength and healing. There were times I would plead with Anna to ask for help as if I were there, my heart ached for her as I thought about how easily young women can find themselves in this situation and how much strength she had to get through it. Very well written and narration! It’s a hard listen at time emotionally, but so worth it! A great reminder of why we should all pay extra attention to our loved ones actions and really listen, you never know who you may help get free from abuse! Thank you for sharing your story Anna and May the rest of your days be immensely blessed!

Good short listen

Good short listen. The end was kind of abrupt but still good. Not sure I would listen again, but I would recommend to a friend.

Unbelievable

I just don't know know about this, how can someone be so weak and gullible in one day. She just gave up. She just let him take everything I don't understand.

wow

Loved it! I'm so sorry you had to go through that! Thank you for sharing your story and I hope it helps others to come forward! Although I was left wondering what happened to your older sister and if anything changed between you and your mother. I know it wasn't about that but just curious!
