I found my life running in tandem with the author's. My Journey My Way is a well written account of horrendous abuse, loss, and suffering, interwoven with huge globs of hope, humor, along with golden nuggets of healing. It epitomizes the strength and tenacity many survivors discover coming out the other "end" of abuse. It's a hard topic to write about and should be even harder to read but this book, through all the suffering and insecurities, is a real pleasure. There is no condescending attitude leaping from the pages, or any pushing of an agenda but rather a genuine, raw look at a life that refuses to give up on living. Cleverly written, it breathes fresh air into a new way of looking at how we deal with ourselves and how we heal. I would recommend this novella to anyone struggling to find their footing after experiencing abuse. It is a total surprising gift of a read. Chelle McLaughlin .
