The First Review

I was humbled by the 5 star amazon review on a verified purchase of "Nervous Exhaustion":

Ed's story about his journey through PTSD and trauma is a very clear depiction of the ripple effect that both have on the people that know and love the victims. Told with equal parts candor and humor, Ed makes his poignant story relatable to any reader. Ed's ability to lay bare all that is associated with sexual abuse trauma from the event itself clear through to the act of forgiveness is important. It's something that so many victims and families need to see is actually possible. Ed shows that this is not a straight path but rather a circuitous one with potholes along the way. The raw honesty is what makes this story compelling and obviously heartfelt. A deep read that leaves you with renewed hope.
