Thank you for reading my story and for recognizing both its importance and the courage it took to share it. I’m sorry it was such a difficult reading experience.
I included a strong content warning at the beginning so readers could make an informed choice about whether the book was right for them. I understand, however, that a warning cannot always prepare someone for the emotional weight of what follows.
My purpose in writing so candidly was to convey the reality of what happened to me and help others understand the profound harm of childhood sexual abuse. Telling that truth mattered deeply to me, and so does the well-being of the people who read it. I respect every reader’s limits and would never want anyone to feel obligated to continue reading something that causes them distress.
I’m grateful for the compassion in your review and for your recognition that even a story that is painful to read can be important to tell.
