Unclutter: A Survivor’s Story (Inner Voice Book 1) by Winnie D. Pagora- 5 out of 5 stars
This story hits my heart really close to home. Tina is in pain, traumatized, lost a part of herself that she can never get back, and yet she fights through it all because she is a survivor. I wanted to jump into the pages so bad to give Tina a big momma hug. That being said, this author does a beautiful job at dealing with such a delicate subject. I highly recommend but please take in account your mental health.
