I just received this beautiful review:
"First, I want to tell you
that you write beautifully, and I couldn't put it (the book) down.
Second, I don't think I even took a breath while reading. The only time I
put it down, even for a moment, was to wipe away tears. Third, At this
point in my life I am going through some very difficult things. To read
this book and know what you have endured and the fact that you came out
bulletproof strong, beautiful and successful made me realize that I can
get through it. You truly have inspired me to find my own strength and
my courage. It breaks my heart to know that you spent your childhood in
that way, and I am sorry you had to. This was by far the most brutally,
honest recollection and I am honored to have read it." Melissa B

'She Ain't My Sister' editor review
"I read (She Ain't My Sister) with a combination of horror and delight. Horror at the gritty reality it portrayed, and delight at the graceful storytelling. Molly is an incredible heroine, and her story will resonate with many people. Perhaps the book's greatest accomplishment is how it explains the process that goes into abuse and the feeling of hopelessness that such children must feel. On one hand it's a frightening book and on the other, a hopeful one. It is very, very powerful." Laurie Rosin
