When you read the pages of this extraordinary book, expect to take a journey unlike one you’ve ever imagined. Kristy’s vivid life experiences and her deft ability to express them with vulnerability, insight and a mastery of language is a raw and beneficent revelation that leaves the reader awed, shell-shocked and renewed.
Kristy courageously exposes her life and her truth-seeking to the reader, and compels us to look inward at our own lives as well, at our own truth, our own unique path. As a reader, I was not only taken into Kristy’s experiences with her, but also given access to her internal dialogue and self-analysis that accompany each profound, enchanting, horrific encounter with her own psyche and her place in this world. The words on these pages are completely transporting, and Kristy expertly mingles academic analysis, deep emotion and self-awareness with fantastic if reluctant self-acceptance. It calls us to break through the barriers that constrain our lives and to live according to our own truth.
