This book was beautiful, thought-provoking, and well written. I wasn’t sure I’d be able to relate to the story, but I had high hopes. I think we can all relate to Yara’s journey of finding your voice, learning positive self talk, and being brave enough to make the right decisions. Her battle with childhood trauma and her healing was enlightening to me and I hope it is enlightening to many others as well as they learn to love themselves and open themselves up to love from others.
