Incredible story of survival and healing
An amazing surviver. I'm grateful this book was written. I learned a lot.

Strange, Sad and Sexy?
This isn't the first incest memoir I've read but it's one of the best. The way Ms. Palazzi writes is slightly "After School Special" in tone but she's also self-effacing and when the need arises, raw and brutally honest. I was confused that she was so surprised that her father was an all-around pedophile (she learned later he had approached her brother) but I suspect many people are like that. The sex scenes are not graphic but are strangely romantic sometimes. Ms. Palazzi is now married but attends therapy sessions.

Lily.. Thank you so much for writing your memoir!
I am a 23 year old survivor of incest pedophilia. My father(by blood) and my uncle(by marriage) molested me as a child and ive been in some pretty rough situations, not knowing how to deal with it. I was always terrified i would traumatize my son as my father and uncle did to me. But he is almost 2 and could never imagine hurting him like that. I have recently been interested in hypnotism for my ptsd. However, not doing well with finances right now. But i want so badly to heal my inner child and myself. Ive been through different types of therapy but wish very much I had a therapist like yours. I am sure i would benefit greatly. I didn't put my phone down once while reading your story. Literally. I read it in one sitting. I appreciate your strength and willingness to write this and publish it for others to benefit from. You're a very strong woman and i empathize with you. Im glad you found Lil and healed her as well as yourself. I suppose im unsure if you'll see this but i hope you're doing well and want you to know you have impacted my life with this book. (In a good way) Again. Thank you so much!!!

So sad
This book was weird. I mean you understand the subject matter from the name and I get that it is a memoir and really a form of healing for her to tell her story.Her Dad was sick, he messed with her mind and emotions and she is sick too, from the trauma.It is amazing what humans will do to each other. Do not read if you have a weak stomach.A quote from the book, " It felt like my dad was not only my best friend, but also my Prince Charming, the man I'd been searching for my whole life. I felt myself falling."

Love of the wrong sort
Lily's memories of her father molesting her as a young child were buried so when she became totally out off by her mother's physical and emotional abuse plus the sexual abuse she endured at the hands of a series of step fathers, she ran away to live with him. Her dad was one of those more unusual types of abusers who will commit incest with their little girls, their big girls, little sons and older sons. And with non-familial children and youth. Lily believed herself to have "fallen in love" with her own dad, and carried on an "affair" for several years. Her dad was eventually prosecuted and given a several year sentence in prison. Lily had great emotional difficulty with all of this (no surprise). While no longer "in love" she still loved him. She was smart enough to realize she needed to put him out of her life. With the help of a caring husband and a helpful therapist, she has come to terms with what life dealt her.
