by P Mattern
Published by CHBB Publishing

Would you bury it as deeply as it would go
Or talk about it as soon as you were able to anyone willing to listen?
I was the sister who buried it.
Lyn was the sister who refused to.
In the end, it cost her everything.
Some secrets are too terrible to keep.

Well, I am not sure exactly what I can say as I write up this review. It truly hit on a more personal level for me.
Learning about the lives of Patricia and Lyn brought back many things that happened to me as a child and in adulthood. The relationship with my dad and the different stepmoms that I had made life hard and as I got older so did other relationships with other people, especially men in particular. I was physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually abused in many different forms of life that made me hate people and lose hope and my faith in God in one fail swoop. I was a complete mess and it took many people to bring me back to what I have become today.
This story was well written and it didn't cause me to relive those parts of my life that I was abused because her story was different from mine. But it did bring out the feelers and made me feel so sad or angry at times for the characters. As I read this story, I feel as if I wasn't alone and it wasn't just me that went through a rough life. Seeing her feelings poured out into the pages of this book showed me that not everyone's life is full of rainbows and unicorns no matter what time frame you were born in or how old you are. It fills my heart to know that I have had the chance to get to know this author on a more personal level just by reading this story. I truly thank this author for sharing with the world her testimony. I highly recommend this read!!
