Writing this was certainly brave. Living through the life she had and still taking the time for introspection and then advocating for women like she is currently doing is also incredibly BRAVE. I know so many people who have been through so much less who cannot being themselves to self-examine themselves because it's just too painful. Rose McGowan does not seem afraid of pain. She didn't discuss this but I'm also so impressed by how forgiving she is, and understanding of everyone's perspective as she let many family members that completely let her down as a child back into her life. That's so incredibly powerful, and also brave.

On a literary note, her voice as an author shined throughout this entire memoir, and I actually think she would make a fantastic fiction writer. Very readable book on a difficult but important subject matter.
