It covers a multitude of experiences from being a single parent, domestic violence, divorce, abandonment, parentified daughter, shame, bullying, scapegoated, growing up in a maladaptive toxic family, anxiety to a women who educated herself as a sole single mother without any support.  Kylie made herself into a completely independent woman, a multiskilled and multitalented woman while raring two beautiful well emotionally adapted independent sons.  A book of courage and discovering self worth, finding truth in a dark world, love the the real meaning of life, peace and happiness.
