From Those Who Have Read It

Some cried. Some got angry. Some saw their own lives in these pages. Here is what they wanted to share.
I have a sister. We fight, but nothing like this. Reading what Trudis went through with her twin honestly made my stomach turn. The way Doris kept coming back into her life and destroying things over and over… I don't know how Trudis survived that. It made me look at my own family differently. This book stayed with me for weeks.
— Jess M.
My mom was in an abusive relationship when I was a kid. Reading Trudis talk about how Achim would hit her but never leave marks… that hit way too close to home. She doesn't make herself a hero. She just tells you what happened. No drama, no excuses. Just facts. I cried a few times. But I also felt less alone.
— Carlos R.
