review 1: This is a sad, beautiful book... it was recommended to me by someone who had gone through an abusive relationship, to help me understand a bit more about what it is like to be the one being abused. It didn't really make it that much clearer to me, and I still have such a hard time understanding how abused women go back for more... but it did open my eyes a bit to the reality of abusive relationships. I really enjoyed the book, though. It was well written, and full of raw emotion.
review 2: I was given a proof to read before publication. Very stream of consciousness and disjointed at times. There were so many feelings and full blown emotions. Much anger, guilt, depression, regret. Once you got past all of that, asha's pursuit of life showed her strenth of... more character and honest reflections. There was very strong love and hope for her daughter. There were universal feelings regarding motherhood. Words that would describe asha's memoir to me would be continued growth and endurance of a varied life. less
