What an amazing story. Must have been a hell of a rollercoaster ride - and has left me wondering (as all good books do) - so what happens now? Brilliantly written, a perfect balance of humour and fact and emotion and “OMG” (I had no idea MRKH existed). The whole vibe of the book is that, despite the challenges, barriers and amazingly awful stuff that life throws at us, Ally Hensley is an utterly fab and resilient human being.

Powerful.

I know Ally - I worked with her many years ago but had no idea of what else was behind the scenes.

This is a searing account of reclaiming her life, her power, her truth, and herself.
