Inside the Pain and Power of Healing a Broken Family: Stephanie Weaver’s Bitter, Sweet Revealed
There is a healthy resources section at the end, including many of the books that Weaver herself used and referenced in the text. Weaver annotates each book to explain what she used it for, and offers historical context as needed.
Weaver has published books previously, but this is her first memoir. She directly addresses the question of why now, and the skepticism that so many victims of sexual assault face. Weaver points out the obvious: if she was making this up, why would she make up trauma about incest? Especially involving her father, whose revelation blew up her family. I doubt I could ever forgive my family for the trauma she endured, but the author shows a tremendous amount of grace.
