This was a powerful, engaging read from a determined writer and survivor. Levings has navigated Christian fundamentalism and abuse at the hands of people and systems who claimed to have her best interests in mind. I loved watching her find her agency in motherhood and writing—both domains that belong to her. The strength she shows in the hospital with baby Clara and later fleeing her abuser in the middle of the night with her children is awe-inspiring. I also appreciated her chapters on recovery and healing. The beautiful ending is a reminder that our stories are never over, and we are forever evolving.
