Yesterday, I Cried by Iyanla Vanzart. © 1998; © 2000 Fireside. ISBN 0-684-86748-6.
When I began this book, I was a bit put off by her victim-role; don’t get me wrong, Vanzart did have a torturous childhood/young adulthood, and I for one, am proud of her survival.
As I continued on, I realized that she was exposing the most vulnerable aspects of her life and growth to the reader. I also realized that her way of healing and growth was through sharing her life story; her tears; her fears, etc. and with that came, for her, some freedom.
She was working on shedding the victim-role – and kudos to her!
This is a painful story of overcoming tragedies and hardships, both internal and external.
This is a story of digging within to find the “whys” of repetitive abusive relationships – externally and internally.
This is a story of freeing the unseen chains and taking responsibility for one’s own choices, decisions and actions in life.
I recommend this book.
