Written in seamless second person, a place, a feeling, something he said to you is a stunningly real account of abuse rendered in vivid color, from the tall green trees in the guided meditation you improvise to soothe his violent rage to the red light that gives you the chance to jump out of his car. Alexandra Naughton has written a graceful, fearless, and regrettably relatable book about surviving an abusive relationship and finding power in telling your story.
