Omg can I give this more than 5 stars? This was so difficult, but so well written and well done. ( )

A true story of a young woman who was abused by her father. The story is told factually of the abuse suffered by the whole family and how this woman eventually broke free. Parts of it were very difficult to read. However there was an underlying thread of hope and a story of significant resilience. ( )

With such an ugly horrible topic it's hard to say I loved reading this book, however the voice and the positive optimism throughout is awe inspiring even in a sea of dark topics. Incredibly well woven true story. ( )

There are a lot of spelling mistakes in this. But it does not take away from the the fact that this lady told her truth in order to help the next person. ( )

Spilled Milk truly is one of those books everyone should read. There were moments when it was difficult to continue reading but I devoured this in less than 24 hours.

Brooke's story is heart wrenching but also enlightening. Lots of great insight into how to deal with situations of abuse especially when it might not be obvious that someone is suffering.

As others have said I would highly recommend anyone read this but especially teachers, public officers, police, coaches, etc. pick this book up and use it to learn the signs of abuse and that often times you have to let the person in that situation until they are ready to accept help.

The biggest takeaway for me was how normal she thought her scenario was and how long it took to accept that things weren't as they should be. ( )
