Book Summary:
A deeply personal memoir about a courageous woman’s journey to rise above insurmountable obstacles, and identify the learning lessons. Her story will inspire anyone who is faced with adversity.
In 2022, Nella Coiro is happy, emotionally healthy, and loved — but her journey to get here has not always been a simple or linear one. A troubled childhood set her on a path that would have completely overwhelmed anyone with less resilience and courage. But Nella never gave up.
In this raw and deeply intimate memoir, Nella shares for the first time, the challenges she faced growing up in a home that exposed her to physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Learning from her parents, Nella has had her own struggles with substance abuse, depression, and ongoing adversity.
But here, she illustrates how she navigated the immeasurable obstacles she faced as a youth, as well as how, as an adult, she balances the lasting scars from those traumas, as well as addressing serious medical issues. With the love and support of her spouse, and reliance upon her spirituality, she continues the lifelong journey towards self-acceptance, self-love, personal growth, and inner peace.

Intense and Courteous. Wow! This book is so intense, to say the least. This woman is a very talented writer, and it couldn’t have been easy to document her life experiences. She’s a survivor for sure, and I was really impressed by how she was able to talk about the lessons she has learned in her life, especially as a result of some of her the horrible experiences she went through.
_______________
First, the author of this book is a talented writer. A book of her poetry should be published. This story however, is a personal account of a child and adult, who has struggled with life for over 60 years. Her mother who had a mental illness, adopted her as a baby and never told her. The author found out at age 39. After confronting her mother for not telling her of her adoption, she received $1.00 from her mother's will 4 years later. The author also speaks of being sexually molested by her father as a child and the effect on her as an adult. There's also a chapter on her troubled sister.”
_______________
“While this memoir has lots of trauma and adversity… the strength and power comes from the attempt not just to overcome all these issues and live a full life, but to give the struggles meaning by learning from them and giving others a message of hope. Great for anyone who has felt defeated in life and searched for a way to persevere.”
_______________
“This book is a page turner…. The writer is a brave woman who has been through hell, and is now on dialysis. She talks about how she weathered so many storms, learned lessons from “even the worst of circumstances, “and kept moving forward. She talks about how hard it was to write this book, but she wanted to share her story to help other people. Her book is sad but inspiring!”
