A roadmap.

"I found myself literally yelling out 'OMG!' 'Yes!' 'SAME!!!' 'So TRUE!!' at every page turn! Our stories aren't similar at all but everyone that deals with narcissism will be able to relate to this book. It is so incredibly brave of Danielle to share her story and I'm grateful that she did!"

"Dr. DonDiego's story, while difficult to read, is an excellent example of triumph despite the circumstances. It allowed me to realize that no matter how big or small my personal and professional traumas are, I'm not alone and have the power within to prevail. Kudos to Dr. DonDiego for not only standing up and building the life of her dreams, but also for not being afraid to speak out."

"DonDiego's prose is conversational and easy to follow — it's very much like having a conversation with a friend while sharing mutual hardships. A quick and worthwhile read for anyone who needs a mental reset. Whether you have experienced trauma or not, this book can help make sense of things in these insane times."

"Danielle lays out her story with brutal honesty and truth, so that we can recognize if we're in a situation we often don't see as dangerous or sick. Thank you for showing us what an abuser looks like and how abuse ramps up from little things to big, dangerous monsters over time."
