An inspirational touch to your soul memoir. Vishanthie's memoir is unparalleled in scope ... Her story is personal, yet relatable; unassuming, yet monumental; frank, yet compassionate. Vishanthie does not preach to the reader nor is this memoir a self-help guide but provides a path to transformation and growth. It is her willingness to lay bare her most intimate struggles that makes her more human and endears her to us. Most powerful of all is her ability to rise with courage towards wholeness.

This has been the most insightful and therapeutic book I've read in a while. (Vanessa Naidoo, South Africa) It is moving, engaging, thought-provoking - a truly rich reading experience and an excellent embodiment of "the personal is political." The memoir is honest, raw and vulnerable, and very powerful. I laughed and cried.
