An exquisite book.
At age fifty, Susan Morris is diagnosed with breast cancer—and she’s floored. Desperate to pinpoint the cause, one night she decides to type a question into her search engine: “What are the risk factors of getting breast cancer?” She’s surprised to discover research showing that long-term exposure to stress and traumatic childhood experiences can both increase the risk of breast cancer.
The Sensitive One is a braided memoir that alternates between Morris’s childhood—as a sensitive child and then teenager who shouldered the burden of caring for her younger siblings as her dad’s alcoholism tore at the threads of their home life—and an adult who for a decade-plus has been living a trauma-free life with a caring husband and rewarding career in nursing . . . only to be diagnosed with breast cancer.
This is a story of redemption—of a woman who manages to escape harrowing circumstances and start anew—but it’s also a story of how our legacy lives within us, and how healing from the adverse effects of childhood can truly take a lifetime.

I, like other reviewers, struggled with both the writing style and to finish the book. I don't discount the authors experiences but I feel like it needed a lot of editing to be cohesive.

It's kind of hard to review/rate a memoir.
Someone's life experience being shared is always amazing.
This story was incredible. It read at a wonderful pace. It was heartbreaking at times but worth the pain.

I feel bad saying this about someone's personal story but I found this book was really badly written. It needs a really good edit - it's like reading a first draft to be honest. I was surprised it had got through the publishers in this state. Not one I would recommend to be honest.

Thank you for the advanced copy in exchange for a review.
I was looking forward to reading this but I struggled with the writing style, I stuck with the back and forth as I needed to know how things turned out.

This is no doubt a compelling story of the author’s life and struggles. Without giving away spoilers I must say I disagreed with the author on many points which made it difficult for me to continue reading. I also found the writing style to be very repetitive.

I finished the book because I was interested to see how life turned out for the author. But, I am sorry to say, I did not get much out of it.

I received an advance copy of, The Sensitive One, by Susan F. Morris. I did not care for this book at all. The writer goes back and force thru her childhood into motherhood, and to her cancer journey. She seemed to want to blame people for why she got, anxiety, depression, and breast cancer.
