Amy's story needs to be told.
Amy Griffin has had success in so many areas of her life but she continue to run - literally run. Even when her body and doctors told her it isn't serving her, she ran. Until one day she decided to find out what she was running from and started psychedelic therapy. It is there, in those sessions that she uncovered years of suppressed trauma. This memoir is her journey through these discoveries, telling the people closest to her and trying to stop her assaulter from never hurting another.
The moment I finished this book I had a conversation with my daughter. Do you know 1 in 3 women is sexually assaulted? Do you know there are statistics around what happens when we don't tell right away? Do you know sexual assault usually comes from someone we know? Things we have talked about before but felt SO important after reading Amy's story.
Everyone should read this book.
