Very good listen, recommending to many friends!

This was a heartbreaking read but very interesting. I recommend it.

It was what you expect. Am ok read.

Truly an awesome read, what a life Ruth has lead,. Ruth your mother is so very proud of you, you have done her proud indeed . READ THIS , you won’t be disappointed!!!!

Wow..I am left speechless and bawling at the conclusion of this story of a childhood filled with struggle and strife but also one of love..the end is brutal and I am amazed at the author's ability to overcome circumstance and truly succeed...just wow..

I couldn’t stop listening, was sad. I am amazed that this type of thing is still allowed. How does a mother let these things happen to a child/ren. What amazed me the most was, it’s ok to abuse girls, but once a boy was abused...escape was made. We need to change this in all cultures. Brilliant, well written, great narration

This was one of the best books ever. The author reads it so well and you can hear her emotions reliving her own story. And what a story - amazing!!

What an amazing book Ruth. I will be listing to it again. I gasped, cried and questioned and could not stop listing.There were some really hard bits to hear and I feel for you and the pain that you had suffered and amazed at how you still seem to be such a strong women. You have inspired me and have made me realize more that all actions taken by a parent have a reaction on the children. I am sorry for your losses.

What a beautiful book of what strength and resilience really looks like. I was a little sad when it was over because I wanted to hear more about the redemptive period of her life. I know there were many more years that she worked so hard to become the person that she is today. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she has another memoir up her sleeve. I pray that you continue to be blessed Ruth and find freedom in sharing your story with others.

Excellent. So well written with such detail of an extremely difficult life. Ruth is an amazing woman. Hard to put into words what kind of struggle her life was but yet she persevered and was triumphant. May she continue to heal as the years go on. Thank you for sharing your life with us. May you be blessed beyond measure for all you have been through and how you raised, supported and protected your family.

One of the best books out there. It was hard to stop reading it.
