From the bestselling author of Love Lives Here comes a deeply personal memoir about confronting life-long trauma and healing enduring scars. Amanda Jetté Knox, a writer and human rights advocate, shares her family's inspiring journey of love and acceptance as both her child and partner came out as transgender. Their story resonated widely, propelling her memoir to bestseller status. However, in the spring of 2020, Jetté Knox faced targeted attacks on social media from a small but vocal group criticizing her book and advocacy. The backlash intensified, leading her to contemplate suicide. Instead of succumbing to despair, she sought help at a hospital one sunny afternoon. This memoir serves as a powerful testament to her reckoning with both past and present traumas, including violence, addiction, and sexual assault. After receiving diagnoses of Anxiety Disorder and Mood Disorder (complex PTSD), Jetté Knox committed to her recovery, emerging with newfound strength and resilience. This candid account illustrates how trauma can shape us without defining us, revealing that even in our darkest moments, hope and light can prevail.
