Bakari's brave memoir shows precisely how suicidal thoughts creep into a survivor's mind. "If I have to be that small, I might as well not be here at all." The conversations this book opens up lead to insights that are emotionally driven and focused in a way that offers powerful lessons to readers about suicide, silence, and safety. ? Ruffina Oserio for Readers' Favorite says the book is "a compelling memoir that answers the question: What does it take to heal from childhood trauma and sexual abuse? With unusual honesty, the author shares her heartbreaking story. Readers encounter a woman who gives the impression that she is healthy and successful, hiding her pain behind poetry, her pursuit of education, and her martial arts. In this memoir, she demonstrates how our culture of silence leads women and those abused in childhood to experience untold suffering. This is a memoir with a powerful psychological bedrock, a book that explores the psychology of sexual hurt and the ugly place of silence in a culture that encourages people to mask their pain, no matter how gruesome it may be. The writing is confident and filled with insight. Too Much Love Is Not Enough: A Memoir of Silence of Childhood Sexual Abuse explores the effects of silence in the lives of abused women and offers a path towards reconciliation with self, building self-worth, and experiencing inner freedom. It's a very insightful and inspiring book for both victims and sympathizers."
