I found myself putting my hand on my heart and holding my breath while reading parts of this book. I've never reacted to scenes in a book this way before. The writing is crisp, accessible and in some parts, profound. I recommend this book to anyone who has the courage to be honest about what is required to face some of life's toughest challenges.

One of the best things about reading another person's story occurs when you have shared experiences. Like Kellie, I have been the "fixer" and the "cleaner" more times that can be counted. When you are in the middle of such distress, it is hard to see a way out. But, the actual growth from these experiences can be a real and beautiful thing. I love Kellie's journey of her growth from and through experiences. Today I embrace being a "fixer" and a "cleaner."
