Powerful Read

This book was a super compelling read. I read it in a day, something I never do. It also helps that the author's style was really conversational. I was surprised that it really helped me understand my own childhood better and come to terms with it. Mela's was obviously an extreme case but the book really opened my eyes to how much early childhood trauma continues to affect people well into adulthood until we can recognize what is happening. Then we can begin the journey to break the cycle. I definitely recommend this book for people who are ready to do the work. Also Mela's psychic readings are super on-point if you were wondering.
