This is an incredibly challenging read because it requires a lot of emotional work to engage with. While I think the title sounds silly and corny, this book is both difficult and tender to the reader. It approaches healing through compassion instead of shame or "pulling up by the bootstraps". It includes exercises for reflection, questions and activities. Sometimes I had to stop not because it was intellectually challenging, but because it was emotionally challenging or brought up things I needed more time to process. It also provides insight for why abusive people may act the way they do - this is not an excuse but personally this insight is helpful for understanding that child abuse is absolutely nothing a child could have done or caused.
