From an early age, Amber van de Bunt knew she wasn't like the other girls in town.

With humor, alacrity, and profound insight, she reveals her deepest, darkest secrets and pulls no punches—least of all with herself.

Goodreads review by Sean

A very honest and deeply personal memoir. Sometimes shocking, tragic but audacious all the same. Its easy to empathize with her through her struggles with drugs and abusive relationships. She went through a lot of stuff and you really root for her at the end when she finally found a way to overcome......more

The topics discussed in this book are VERY important. And it is good to see how sex-positive the author is! It was not always a pleasant read but it was a necessary one. Recommended!......more
