What an amazing book"
This gripping story reveals the raw details of her traumatic childhood and youth in such a way that I could not put this book down. The authir describes her experiences with molestation, sexual assault, rape, neglect, and poverty, bringing you directly alongside her to share in every feeling and emotion. She also reminds us that our trauma does not have to define us, but that it is a part of who we are, not to be shamed and brushed under the rug. Resilient is powerful, life-changing, and will help so many. It will stick with me for the rest of my life. Trulle recommended.
Thank Netgalley for this opportunity.

I truly enjoyed reading this despite the emotional weight of the author’s childhood. Well written and engaging. A few parts were long and very detailed, but it showed the author wrote this for herself not for her audience. A big part of why it was so good.
Recommended For: Those who enjoy memoirs and stories of resilience.

I got this book due to the title, "RESILIENT." It takes a lot to be a resilient woman. It's something we are taught and practice on a daily. With pain comes resilience, which is what my therapist once told me.

When I started reading this book, I had no clue what was inside the pages, and then wow!!!! It touched me in many ways.

This memoir is about a survivor who had a lot of abuse from a young age to her 20s. Sexually abused, poverty, foster care system, self-harm, and abortion. She was so authentic in this memoir that I found myself shedding tears as many of these topics hit home to me. Many people don't realize how trauma affects people and how. We have dealt with it for many years, and the pain from those painful moments never goes away. We become more robust and learn to deal with our emotions.

I loved this book, and It was an honor to read someone else's story, which went through some of the same tribulations I have dealt with. We are not alone <3

Recommended: to anyone who wants authenticness, a therapist, or a mentor to people who have dealt with trauma, and if you are a survivor of any type of abuse, this one is for you. We stand together

What an extremely difficult yet utterly important book. I lived the other side of this story as a Social Worker and former foster parent and feel that it is important for people to learn about children who experience these situations. Katherine Turner shares her experiences and by doing so, I think that this story could absolutely help others realize that they are not alone. Thanks #NetGalley #JoshaPublishing
