REVIEWS
...an earthen spirituality that was woven into every single chapter. I feel like this book would be done a disservice if you didn't read a physical paper copy.
I found the clashing themes of christianity and tribal worship to be extremely interesting, especially as Cass struggled to reconcile her beliefs between the two.
...incredibly poignant scenes in this book that I'll never completely shake off. The women in this book face so much trauma but ultimately they find their freedom through forgiveness, understanding and compassion.
..offers a compelling and introspective exploration of the complexities of mental illness, trauma, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
