This is not a book for those with strong triggers. Please see the many content warnings. We're walking with a woman who suffered greatly. If you can handle it, this book is a tremendous opportunity to understand someone trapped in an abusive relationship and maybe why they stay.

Some definitions are brief and to the point. Others are short essays that help you dig deep into the feeling. All are sorrowful in one way or another, which is why I took so long to read it. I'd read a few pages now and then. I thoroughly enjoyed them, but reading too much at once left me sorrowful and tired.
This is a great book to dip in and out of or to use to define that undefinable feeling your having.
