Finding Me
Finding Me is a compelling true story about a young girl living through sexual and physical abuse—how it affected her life and relationships into adulthood and how she eventually found her way out of the darkness and into the light. Finding Me, although confrontational and dark at times, is about finding your way out of the darkness and no longer being afraid to step into the light. It is about love and forgiveness, not only for others, but for yourself—learning to love, nurture, and respect yourself to become the person you truly deserve to be. In sharing her story, M. Hope wishes to empower others that have walked the same or similar paths and to show that no matter how dark and heavy things can become, there truly is a light for us at the end of it all—if and when we are ready to turn our backs on the darkness and speak our truth.

The cover of this book is designed really well. The title is really interesting and apt.
This book tells us a true story about a girl living through sexual and physical abuse and how it affected her life. This is a very hard book to read because everything was really painful to imagine. I must say the author is really courageous to pen down this book and mention her mistakes with consequences. The author has included some poems written by her which makes it more effective.
With this book the author wants to help those who are suffering and take a step against things which are wrong. This makes this book a must read book.
Overall this is a really good and different read. The language is simple. The narration skills of the author is just amazing and the pace is maintained really well. Will definitely recommend this book from my side.

"I now see that it is not until one learns to love and accept themselves, to forgive and respect themselves; that true love and happiness will come to them."

Reading this book, it felt like I've been living through what the author has gone over the years. I can only imagine, how painful and heartwrenching it would have been for her to pen all that down, living through that hell again. It is so much brave of her to write all the mistakes she has done, to accept all the wrong decisions she has made. But after all, we are just humans. We all commit mistakes, but what makes one stand out is accepting the consequences. It does take up a hell of courage to do so, despite of facing so much criticism and deprivation.
But at the same time, I've found immense sense of healing and self-discovery. This book does hold hope for all those who are suffering, for those who are trying to find the courage to come out and take a step against the wrong.
•••••
The writing is great and one just flows through it. The author has also included some poems that she has written herself, which gives the book a depth and gets you to know more about the people they are about.
Cannot appreciate the author enough for such confrontational and blunt faceoff with the reality.

Recommended for anyone searching for some light, you just need to take a step ahead!!

My rating: 4.6/5
Finding Me By M.Hope
❤️ This book is written by the author, spilling out all the secrets of her life. When a girl goes through the physical abuse, it takes a lot of courage for her to accept it, to go through it, and get back to her life to normal. Being a girl, I could completely understand what she felt but I could never ever imagine myself at her place. The things she had gone through seriously requires a lot of bravery. She had to be strong all the time. For a girl, this is the worst she could ever go to.
❤️ Now, coming onto the book, I literally appreciate author for writing it all down. Courage is a very small word to describe and write what she wrote in the book. The author went through the worst but you just can’t control things. I must say the author is such a brave girl that she faced it all, and came out of it.
❤️ And, just give a look to the book cover, it is just the best. The best anyone could think of. The title as well is doing the complete justice to the book. Must say, I was completely connected to the book. My mind was totally into it. It had me with all the tears. Must say, thank you to the author for sharing her story with all of us.
❤️ You must grab the book to read how bravely she handled it all, how she faced it all. Even I am unable to explain how she could do all this. It requires everything, sometimes the complete life to get back to normal. The author deserves an applaud for facing, moving on and writing it down.
