The author wrote a memoir that details growing up with an abusive alcoholic father and a religious mother that doesn't believe in modern medicine, but instead on natural healing. The author's craving for love from her parents, no matter how badly she was treated, was heartbreaking and the raw emotions came through in the writing of this amazing memoir.

I was so honored to read Vanya's memoir!! She has an amazing story that is both touching and relatable. I'm so happy she wrote her story and I believe it is going to help tons of readers who have also struggled with difficult parents. I was totally engrossed in this book from start to finish!!
