“Beautifully written with a rare vulnerability and honesty. Intriguing, with just enough clues to prepare the reader for a terrifying yet wonderful choice.” Heather Snyman, Trauma Counsellor and EMDR Therapist
“A must read for anyone involved in trauma informed care work. Well done!” Tumi Jantjie, Vice President: People and Culture, Portland, USA
“Beautiful and painful. Reading this book was quite the journey. Many would be able to relate only too easily to some the experiences. Penned by a deeply insightful South African author, some of the expressions and colloquialisms may be unfamiliar to foreign audiences, but the narrative is well worth the effort of doing a little research as needed. Can definitely recommend.” Cavy, Amazon USA
“Wonderful, transformative novel. I enjoyed this first novel by Leonie Vorster. The characters are complex, fascinating, uplifting and challenging.

I recommend this to anybody seeking an exploratory read and reflection on their own life.“ Dan Foreman, Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent United Kingdom
