"The memoir by Christina Baird is one of those books that grabs onto you. Once I started reading about some of her earliest unpleasant memories, I couldn't stop reading – I wanted to know, how does somebody go from abuse and neglect at such an early age to write an enlightening, heartbreaking and inspiring story? This book made me look inside myself and ask this question: Am I using my own experiences to fuel a life which is purposely fulfilling? Or as Christina puts it: “Holding onto their stories as a means for living in their ‘now’”. Christina’s story is one that everybody should read. It is proof that we hold the power to choose our destiny." ~Amy Tarleton Cline
