Authentic and relatable

Amber’s story is straight-up victorious. Bravo!

From the abuse she endured growing up, through one destructive relationship after another and so much more, the heaviness just radiates off the pages. I found myself rooting for her every step of the way, only to watch her get knocked down again, whether it was another abuser, a judgmental family member or church leader, or a justice system that totally failed her. Girl could not catch a break… but she never gave up.

Watching her self-awareness grow as the healing started is genuinely inspiring. The way she went out and found her own support and resources reminded me that I can do that too.

Honestly, once I picked it up I couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to keep following Amber’s journey both to support her and to continue my own healing.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Heartbreaking, powerful, and courageous

This book is one of the most honest and courageous stories I’ve ever read. It takes a lot of strength to speak about childhood sexual abuse, especially when it involves someone who was supposed to be trusted and safe. Amber shares her story in a way that is raw, real, and deeply human.

What stood out to me most is how she doesn’t try to hide the pain or make it easier to read than it really is. Instead, she tells the truth—about the confusion, the hurt, and the long-lasting impact. At the same time, there’s also a quiet strength throughout the book. You can feel her resilience and the courage it took not just to survive, but to tell her story.

This isn’t an easy book to read, but it’s an important one. It gives a voice to experiences that are too often kept in silence. I’m incredibly proud of her for sharing something so personal, and I truly believe this book can help others feel less alone.

It’s a powerful reminder of both the reality of abuse and the strength it takes to heal.

Incredible!

Wow. What an incredible gift you’ve shared with the world in sharing your story with so much vulnerability. Thank you for being so real and raw in all aspects of life.
