Enola Wilson was a sweet little girl that unnoticeably landed in the path of evil. Parents always warn their children of the dangers in a stranger, but how often are we warned about our own blood relatives? Enola was the victim of incest, rape, and child molestation by the age of five. Where? In her grandmother’s basement. After nine years of agonizing silence, Enola comes clean to her mother. After a brief confrontation instilled at her grandmother’s home over her mother bringing light to her sexual abuse, she was shunned from the family. Enola longed for the attention of the people who protected her abuser, rather than her.She was shunned for being the victim of child rape. Her abuser taunted her for years.Narcissism, alcoholism, violence, sexual abuse, generational curses that must be broken. Enola took a stand. Evil is not always lurking around in the dark outside of the window. Sometimes it is within.Are you awake?
My rating has nothing to do with the author's story. It was incredibly tragic and heartbreaking, she was failed by every adult in her life. My rating is for the insane grammatical errors, the crazy run on sentences, the information that was just given at random intervals that made no sense to the sentence before it or after it. The writing in the book was not great.
Another Tik tok recommendation. Very graphic and sad. I felt as if the ending was a bit rushed. It was a good book and it shows how sometimes family is trash. Everyone failed Enola.
Heart breaking and inspiring story of a little girl who went through events that no one ever should
Huge trigger warning for sexual abuse, sexual assault, child abuse, childhood sexual abuse
I first discovered this author on Tiktok and immediately wanted to support her in her healing journey. The events that she experienced as a young child, and throughout her life, are extreme and heart-breaking. The amount of abuse she endured would be more than enough to break anyone multiple times over, but she is using it to do good for so many people.
Thank you for sharing your story!
The book itself did have some grammatical errors and towards the end I was confused on some of the flow. But none of that detracts from the overall message and experience of this book.
I found this book on TikTok. Although it says it’s fictional, the author has said she wrote this book to describe her own real life events.
This book is absolutely heartbreaking and not for audiences who need to stay away from SA. It’s graphic and details the failures of Enola’s family.
The reason for 4 stars is because my kindle version had quite a few grammatical errors. The end was also not as detailed as I was hoping for.
I realize that true event stories are sometimes hard to convey for a new author and probably even harder with a topic such as this one, but there were certain parts that were a bit hard to follow.
I found Katey on TikTok during the pandemic. Her videos took me by surprise with her honestly and bluntness of rape, child abuse, and molestation. However her strength radiated through her messages. Once I found out she wrote a book about her experiences, I knew I had to read it. She does not go into great detail about her assaults but you are able to journey with her through her childhood. Though there are some editing errors, Katey's ability to write about her experience is phenomenal. Read this book to assist the battle against generational incest and child abuse.
While the book showed extreme SA and took a young girl to a woman, so much was left out. Grammatical errors were extreme and I wonder if this woman directly copied another author, being, K L Randis as both this book and Spilled Milk had so many similarities. Which you don’t only find out from the book, but the authors TikTok account. While, it is said this is a fiction novel but based on true events, I’m glad this woman finally spoke up and got the peace she needed. But this book could have been so much better if time was really taken on it.
Heartbreaking. I know the primary purpose of this book is to highlight the terrible events that happened to Katey but I feel like there is another 3 books worth of things that were mentioned off-handedly.
Yes, the editing (or lack thereof) is awful but it is self-published so it probably didn't get run past an editor which made it a bit distracting in some spots but didn't take away from the book as a whole.
K D has been through hell… rather trapped in hell’s revolving door for years and yet managed to heal and help others along the way. I thought I knew the story from the podcast interviews and the videos on social media but this look back at the big picture is devastating and shows just how broken one little girl can be while the rest of the world just goes on around her ❤️🩹
Your story is heartbreaking but so amazing you are such a strong brave woman. I’m so truly sorry you went though all that and I really home they all get what’s coming! They all failed you and if your story can help just one person then that’s what this is about helping and making people speck out and stop the abuse. Your truly inspiring well done katey
This book was written with the clear notion of speaking out for KD herself & her hundreds of thousands of followers. I am glad the little girl I met in the beginning is where she is now. With a loving family & support system. Thank you for having the courage to write this. We aren't small potatoes .. we matter. #metoo
Very disturbing and heartbreaking. I tried not to get caught up in the grammatical errors, misspelled words and missing words but it took away from this read. Very brave to write your story. Perhaps a check with an editor or proofreader on your next project would be helpful. It was also a bit hard to follow the timeline and was a bit rushed at the end.
This book gave me the absolute chills, as a child of sexual abuse it all floods back memories and conversations of my own past. My hat is off to Katey for sharing this story and writing this book.
Reading this book broke my heart. The reality is this happens to more girls and boys than anyone knows. So sad that so many people failed to help her. I hope writing this to tell the truth of what she endured will help her heal as best as she can.
Katey is courageous and special. Writing this book must have been such a difficult task, but she needs to get her story out there for her own healing and to empower other people to come forward with their stories. No more secrets. Brilliant Katey 💜
Such a heartbreaking story of someone I have known for most of my life. The strength it took to break the generations of abuse is incredible. So sorry that she had to endure this torture and so thankful she found her voice.
This was a quick read, and it kept me engaged the entire time. I did struggle with the grammatical and spelling errors, but otherwise it’s a decent read. Thank you to the author for sharing her story.
I would recommend this book to just about anybody. It's a difficult read but so empowering. Katey is brave for sharing her story with us. A trauma many of us carry. It took me some time to get the courage to read this, and I'm glad I got around to it.
This book was awesome. Took me one day to read it. I love how you never stopped telling your side of your trauma. Keep being a strong individual and influence on others who are afraid to speak up.
The author is so brave and strong for sharing her story! Keep sharing and shining gorgeous! Glad I read your book & I hope that your uncle is charged for his actions.
Enola is a heart wrenching story about a little girl that has a voice now. Enola is a must read as a CSA victim. Author K D WEAVER is raw with her writing. I appreciate the book.
I'm not going to talk about the details. Extreme trigger warning. The writing was off and inconsistent. I am truly sorry for what this woman has experienced. I hope she is well.
