As I sit down to write this review, I admit I'm emotionally drained. Things worthwhile usually are draining...and this book is definitely worth your time and energy to process and work through whatever the book stirs in your life (because it will touch on at least one thing, if not many). As a psychologist, I saw the aching and pain and heartache I have seen for years so eloquently written for others to feel in a mere couple hundred pages. As a broken person, I started crying while reading Chapter 1. Immediately, I was touched and the book continued to resonate with parts of me that I don't talk about and parts that I don't want to work on and parts that fuel me to help others on a daily basis. It's a book about finding your inner demons, learning how to manage/overcome them, and surviving amongst all of that knowledge. It's about hope and triumph and joy in helping others and strength in helping yourself.I have not read a single book in my life thus far that will bring about more self-revelation and work than this one. After years upon years of graduate school and psychology training, that is one of the best compliments I can give.
