This book is not going to be a "just read it in peace and let it go" kind of story. It's too full - so full that it makes people want to talk, to argue, to say "I agree" or "I can't accept it." It touches on too many sensitive points for readers, and every one of them may become a point of discussion.
This is not a cup of sweet water that you can drink after you open it. It is more like a bowl of bitter medicine that has been simmered for a long time - it is astringent in the mouth and has a strong staying power, but after drinking it, something warm will be left in the body.
If you are willing to accompany her on this journey - you will feel pain, you will be tired, and you will close the book and take a deep breath at certain passages. But when you close the last page, you will say softly:
"It's great that you made it through."
That's like saying it to yourself.
