By the time I dropped out, I was literally a shell of a person. I could barely function and honestly it's only by the grace of God that I survived to become the woman I am today.</I><BR/><BR/>I just loved Blue-Eyed Devil. I've never had a book speak to me as clearly as that one did. Never had a book explain how I feel (I am so incredibly bad at articulating my emotions) so succinctly. I just hope that I have the strength that Haven did, that you did, that Christine did to come out the other side...because a barely functioning shell is, unfortunately, a very apt description.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482782735384926245.post-45496292037853805272008-10-31T02:23:00.000-07:002008-10-31T02:23:00.000-07:00This book resonated with me to a degree, but I fin...This book resonated with me to a degree, but I finished one this week which just felt as though the author had taken events from my life, given them a twist and then put them on the page.Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482782735384926245.post-41792568384366913372008-10-30T06:33:00.000-07:002008-10-30T06:33:00.000-07:00Thanks so much for sharing your story.

I know you've read my post on how deeply this book also resonates with me, and as sad as I am that you and I--and countless others--have suffered serious abuse, it is a wonderful comfort to know we are not alone and most importantly, that we survived. I applaud you and your family for doing what it took to keep you safe and put you on a road to a better place. I hope that in more recent years, you've done more than survived--you deserve to <I>thrive</I>!!! I wish you nothing but the best! <BR/>xoxoChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00420773211895134710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5482782735384926245.post-53135090853233242322008-10-30T06:14:00.000-07:002008-10-30T06:14:00.000-07:00Oh, what a moving entry!

Other kids and people can be so cruel, and good for you for pulling out of it and telling your story. <BR/><BR/>This sounds like such an amazing book!!!!Carolyn Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17195853833116263029noreply@blogger.com
