 "This is one of those stories that will change so many lives--this kind of courage is something I so deeply admire and respect. This is a very important book!" 

 Betsy Fasbinder, Author 

"I couldn't put it down once I started.  Captivating and heartbreaking. I highly recommend it, especially considering it is a taboo subject rarely spoken about."

Toni Bard, MSW

"I just finished reading your book and I can’t tell you how much it meant to me. The amnesia, disbelief, keeping it and healing from the kids to protect them, and even how long you were working with Peter. Anyway, I just needed to convey how much I resonated with your book. I’ve read many books about this subject, and only a few have truly resonated with me. Thank you for having the courage to write it and share your soul with the world so that some of us don’t feel so alone."

John Cummings, Survivor

"Carol Boyce transformed her incredible journey of discovering a hidden, highly traumatic past into a successful life. Her trauma caused much pain, terrifying trauma, and depression, and she shows how she turned her life around with techniques that can help you." 

Mary Giddens, Survivor

 "This book is so well written and by an incredibly courageous author. It was heartbreaking and thought-provoking, all while sharing a horrific account of real-life trauma. I hope this gives others in similar situations the hope and support they need when they feel they can't go on." 

Jannie Garcia, Author
