Confronting but inspiring, heartbreaking but beautiful. A book about hurt, hatred, love and forgiveness. Highly recommend.

Amazing
I listened to this book in two days, Louise tells her story so we'll and against all odds she got her message out, I am really amazed at what she went through but also saddened. I loved the ending too.

How Do You Survive & Prosper?
From the most heartbreaking and cruel beginnings to a human with a heart the size of the world….
This book had me in tears, to laughing, to rage…. I have witnessed one person’s determination,strength and a power to forgive…. A much better woman than I think I would be.
Love & light for the rest of your life 💜💜💜

Chilling, Heart Wrenching, AMAZING!!!
Not only is this a story of severe child abuse and neglect. It is also one of character, survival and strength. Thank you Louise Allen, for sharing your incredible journey with us. I feel privileged to listen to your story. Your determination and resilience is amazing and the forgiveness you have in your heart is inspiring.

the raw passion; hate, love, cruelty and then forgiveness.
The truth is often confronting, however, the story needs to be told. This author has to be one of the bravest people I have heard.

Couldn’t put it down
I came across this book whilst scrolling.
Louise’s story was difficult to hear to first. I almost stopped listening because I was uncomfortable. So grateful for Louise to share her trauma. This was an education. How wonderful that she eventually used all the evil she endured for good. Bless.
