**TRIGGER WARNING: rape, sexual abuse, physical abuse, child abuse, domestic abuse**



This book is a written apology the author wrote from the perspective of her abusive father. The topics addressed are heavy and may be triggering for some readers, so I would take that into consideration before picking it up. For me, it was cathartic as the author's sentiments are communicated strongly through her writing. It's clear that she suffered greatly, as anyone who has been through abuse does, especially child abuse. Despite its strong content, I think that reading this may be relatable and will help any abuse victims feel like they are not alone. Strangely, it is something that I think many will find comforting. I commend the author for being so willing to share so much and I'm sure it will be as cathartic to many readers as it was for her.
