I just cannot hold myself from appreciating Sharon for beautifully and bravely detailing the unabashed actions of her abusive boyfriend. Initially, I was reluctant to pick a book on such a tough subject matter, but after reading it, I was genuinely surprised at the outright display of courage by the author. It obviously isn\u2019t easy becoming a mom at an innocuous age of fifteen and then living with an abusive and cynical man. I was happy to find out that she made the right decision at the right time and left him for good. The part where she gets to meet her second daughter, whom she released for adoption, was indescribably emotional. I recommend it to every woman who is on the brink of giving up. Please don\u2019t!

The pulse-pounding book \u2018SOME SURVIVE, TRIUMPH OVER TEARS\u2019 deserves a read for its emotional and inspiring heft. Honestly, I\u2019m not an avid reader, but the contents of the book made it unputdownable for me. As a child, I had a pretty dysfunctional childhood, with domestic abuse being a daily occurrence, so the book definitely hit home. It connected with both the heart and the mind \u2013 a rarity amidst the books I\u2019ve previously read. Also, Jennifer is such a sweetheart. Happy that she became a ray of hope during her mother\u2019s abysmal struggles.
