I want to say thank you for recommending this book. This is fantastic!

In chapter 3, the portion called Speechless Horror really nails it for me. I have had a couple situations where I should have been able to speak up, or so I tell myself, and was racked with guilt over not being able to. Now I see that it wasn't my weakness, it was my brain!

Again, thank you.
