DESCRIPTION:
Angel said A powerful and truly inspirational book.. On My Own Terms is a very powerful book! The author had me identifying with her. I was often in tears when I was reading this book. It addresses so many issues that deserve further thought. I truly recommend this book to anyone, as the author sheds a great deal of insight as to how a person is affected by abusive parents. This book left me with a feeling that we can all overcome obstacles, no matter what a person has endured. Darlene Barriere's book is truly inspirational.
