What people are saying
A heartwarming and hilarious collection of work! This book challenged me to evaluate my life, goals and the way I think and feel. Early childhood experiences and family dynamics are truly evident in Dawn’s journey, which has opened my eyes to how my upbringing has also affected me as an adult. I could relate to so many themes and ideas, and believe this book could be classified under self-help!

An incredible book and so relatable for anyone who has had to deal with emotional (or other) abuse in a relationship. All the feelings: the numbness, the frustration, disgust, anger; the relief, the freedom and eventual happiness. This book tells the story of a woman who has broken free from her past, dug all the hooks of abuse out of her heart and mind, looked at the deepest most painful aspects of herself at a soul level and become an incredible source of energy and wisdom in the world. I wish I could have given it more than five stars!
