This is a stunning look at the effects of trauma on memory and the long-lasting aftermath of childhood abuse. It has a raw honesty that could only come from a survivor of abuse, and I am so grateful that Jennifer Fox was willing to share her story.

Difficult to watch, tells a story that is hard to comprehend at times, but rings true. Best viewed by yourself, so no one else sees you cry.
