Sometimes the first step to healing and empowerment is in owning our own story. Kelly writes a brutally honest account of how far she lost herself to an abusive relationship. Her story is a compelling look at how our human need for love and attachment can blur our vision and impair our ability to clearly draw and live out healthy boundaries. At times I felt such despair that she would forever be trapped with her abuser and that she would lose everything in the process. Her writing is brave and her journey from dark to light shows anyone in similar shoes, that they can recover and gain freedom from abuse. This book opens the door for other women and to have a glimpse into the rollercoaster effects of abuse and hopefully allow us to lean in and support anyone in this position .” – Stephanie Bradburn
