Publisher's summary

Viral mom blogger Brooke Binkley tells her painful story about the domestic violence she endured while simultaneously becoming a public figure, and uses her story to highlight the many types of domestic violence that both victims and survivors experience.

On the outside, Brooke was the funny vlogger making moms laugh across the world, but behind closed doors, she was experiencing nearly every form of domestic violence that existed. In this painful memoir, she shares her experience with domestic violence and how she planned for six weeks to ultimately escape the abuse.

From her first domestic violence-related hospital visit to post-separation abuse, stalking and harassment, Brooke describes what it’s like to be the victim of domestic violence - the leading cause of injury to women - more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined. This book answers the nagging question: “How did someone once described as a ‘Firecracker’ become a victim of physical, financial, emotional, and sexual abuse?” and “Why did she stay?”

report!

everyone who has downloaded this book, please go to customer service and report that it cuts off chapters. I have already submitted a ticket to the special team about the fact it cuts off EVERY chapter except chapter 8.
A book this good should not have such low reviews bcuz Amazon audio can't fix their download issue.

Love this story but audiobook is messed up…

The end of each chapter cuts off :( I am listening to the audiobook but will download on kindle so I can finish each chapter because I want to fully appreciate what she has been through. Well written. I also love that the author is the narrator.

Ending chapters too soon

The chapters just cutoff before being completed and then it moves immediately to next chapter. Missing parts of this story is not good.

Chapters get cut off 😢

I’m so excited to read this book so I got it. But it seems like the end of every chapter is cut off. I gave up after three chapters. But…. I love her story and I’ll be getting a hard copy to read more. Brooke is an inspiration!!!
