(2/2) I have had these blurbs for months and still feel bowled over every time I see them! I can't imagine a better gift. @brian-goldstone.bsky.social @strawburriez.bsky.social

Thank you. Peaches and Dontay had their rights terminated. 😔

My deepest thanks to @strawburriez.bsky.social

It’s even worse that this is not a story of one bad man and one bad mom. This is a systemic and generational response to CSA. It’s overwhelming to think about the ripple effects of not only this violence, but also the societal coverup.

Imagine what it does for your identity to have everyone in your life just refuse to see this terrible thing that happened to you. To blame you for it, dismiss your pain, and even make you feel like you are hurting them. It just feels so needlessly cruel, so inhumane.

It truly feels hallucinatory, in a way, how jarringly similar themes come up around people who’ve experienced child sexual abuse, and how we have constructed this false reality that all these symptoms, this pain, this grief, just springs out of nowhere, that it’s just “troubled souls” or whatever.

You made it a book club choice! So you can say whatever you want 😆

Naw I’m kiddin I’ve just heard that a time or two 😆

Thank you! 🙏🏼

lol this criticism bugs me but I do have a very straightforward paperback cover option for people who don’t take font size and typeface cues when they’re reading! 🙂
