You’ll find several interesting elements in Diana’s memoir as she combines memoir with the self-help genre to give readers ways to use writing and journaling in their own healing process. Diana includes writing prompts at the end of chapters and appendices with advice and resources. In Diana’s artful style, she includes poetry and elements lifted from the pages of her journals.
This is an inspiring read that’s equally instructive.
