TW: This book contains contents of child abuse, child molesting, alcohol and drug addictions.
I am so sorry that Wichman had gone through what he did in his childhood and youth. The first 60% or so of the book was so heavy and dark I felt pained just to read it. I couldn’t even begin to imagine the lives of those who never made it; the stories never heard. Wichman had a horrible past life but eventually turned the table. The rest of the book was beautiful and therapeutic, giving positive voices to sex workers and brimming with great love. It goes without saying just how precious he is as a person.
The book flowed wonderfully. Each story mentioned made sense and fit together, painting a picture of Wichman’s life as we revisit memories with him. It took Wichman immense courage to share his life story, and I thank him for also sharing his love.
This memoir is for every lost soul out there who wants to be found. [1 Mar 2020]
