This book is an amazing tale of one woman’s journey through numerous obstacles. The author clearly was blessed with an over abundance of grit, because most people wouldn’t have been able to make it through her life, let alone to write a book about it. Some of the information in the book is very dark. The light at the end of the tunnel seems unreachable at times. The truths of growing up in a dysfunctional family.
It is rightly said that only when you fully own your story are you free to write the ending. Mimi Tallo decided to fully own her story. Not only did she decide to own it, she courageously shares it in this beautifully and authentically written book. While Mimi still has much living to do she clearly demonstrates that the ending is now on her terms.

A major portion of my life has been spent uncovering, forgiving, and resolving my self destructive patterns. I wrote this book for the still marginalized women in this world. I have been a victim, a survivor and today an imperfect but integrated spiritual being. Putting on paper the bare unadorned truth of my life is both frightening and freeing.
I guess you repeat some version of what you grew up with. My mother was cold, introverted and detached. I have no memories of her ever hugging or kissing any of us. My brother Joe said she would tie him up in the basement and hit him with a hose. She told him her life would be much better if he had not been born. She would work all day in a factory and come home after my father had left for the night shift. It is a mystery to me how they found time to conceive four children. I neither have good or bad memories of my mother from when I was a child. I have read that a mother’s role is that of a mirror, reflecting who the daughter is. A reflection of her strengths, talents, fears, and her hopes for the future. As a result of not looking into a maternal mirror, I grew up feeling unseen and misunderstood. I suffered from low self-esteem and a high degree of self-doubt. Plato uses the allegory of the cave as a way to discuss the deceptive appearances of things we see in the real world. He encourages people to instead focus on the abstract realm of ideas and dreams and not on the darkness. No matter how dark my life became, I just kept crawling toward the light. Unfortunately, some people never come out of the darkness of the cave.
