I struggle from a strained relationship with my mother, (and literally zero with my father, who just walked away and started a new family when things got rough) who was an emotionally unstable alcoholic. She did her best, but of course that wasn't enough. Needless to say I have some "baggage" as an adult. My biggest fear in life was becoming her and scarring my children. Loved this book. It's a great, relatable read about learning to emotionally heal yourself from the past. We all take childhood scars into adulthood and if we're not careful they can destroy us and our relationships from the inside out. Michelle's approach to identifying and addressing these demons, forgiving, and moving on in order to live your best life is exactly what I needed to hear. It's tough to become a good mother when you didn't have a good example of what that is as a child. It's also great to know that your not alone. I loved the book so much I stared to read her blog "Two Different Boots" as well. It's like having coffee with a friend. Cant wait to see what she writes next!-Courtney
