Reviews

[Jessica · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is indeed "for all of us". Ericka has a unique talent of writing with a protagonist that is four years old to sixty - four years old. She writes with poignant truth about our dysfunctions, revealing the sometimes dirty secrets behind them.

Definitely a little piece of me but one I've grown beyond. I still include the darkness in my work, but only to further illuminate the light.
