A Book Review

My mom picked up this book. At first I wasn't interested in it at all. She sat down and read it in one day. She told me it was very interesting to see her side of the story. She wanted to read it to see why she stayed for 18 years and didn't leave. She also told me that it was very graphic and she would not let my sisters read it.

I decided to give it a go. Now if you know me, you know one thing. I really don't like to read. I try. But I just don't. My mind wanders way to frequently for me to read and actually pay attention to the words I am reading.

However, I read this book. And I read it fast. Cover to cover in four hours. The book is detailed. Some of the parts are hard to read. Especially if you have kids and think that this could happen to them. And that this is happening to other people's kids.

I however ended the book feeling upbeat and complete. Because Jaycee is a survivor. She is a winner. She came out on top. And although she doesn't have everything sorted out yet, she is well on her way. I can't imagine the emotional toll that what she went through would take on you. I think I'd be scared for life. I don't know if I could go on. But Jaycee. Wow. She's amazing! I hand it to her!!!

I would definitely recommend this book to someone interested in her story. However I would warn you that it isn't appropriate for teens, even some adult might find certain parts hard to read as I did. But it is her story. And she needed to tell it. And I'm glad I read it. I  now wish her and her new found family the best of luck in life! May they be together for eternity!
