The Choice My Mother Made

“Wow. Just wow. This book absolutely wrecked me. From inside out! I felt everything. Every single thing! The pain, the frustration, the need for answers. It’s so raw and real. And it made me think about my own family in ways I never have before. If you’re on the fence about reading it, just do it.”

“I’m not usually an emotional person, but this book? It got me. Hard. I was angry, I was heartbroken, and by the end, I just sat there, staring at the last page, trying to process everything. This is the kind of book that changes the way you see the world. 5 stars!”

“This book felt like a punch to the gut in the best way possible. I don’t think I’ve ever read something so brutally honest about childhood trauma and family secrets...or anything, tbh. It made me question so much about my own past. Everyone needs to read this.”

“I finished this in one sitting because I literally could not stop. The writing pulls you in, and the emotions just don’t let go. It’s heartbreaking, it’s raw. It’s so incredibly powerful. One of the best memoirs I’ve read in years.”

“I don’t usually read memoirs, but I gave this one a shot, and I’m so glad I did. It’s the kind of story that grabs you and doesn’t let go. It made me rethink everything I thought I knew about family, love, and truth. Just…wow.”
