"This book is so well written and by an incredibly courageous author. It was heartbreaking and thought-provoking all while sharing a horrific account of real-life trauma and Complex PTSD. This gives others in similar situations the hope and support they need to recover and thrive."

"I know this book will help others overcome their trauma. It shows a path out of the pain and into joy. I absolutely recommend this book to anyone that wants to overcome their pain. I have told so many people about this book."

Carol Boyce transformed her incredible journey of discovering a hidden, highly traumatic past into a successful life. Her trauma caused much pain, terrifying trauma, and depression, and she shows how she turned her life around.

"The stovetop was as hot as the sweltering summer day. Mom slowly stirred her bubbling stew made from the old family recipe of generations past. With one cup each of abandonment, alcoholism, shame, and rage, she served me a hefty, wretched portion. I swallowed it all as mom told me to, but was left with only hunger--for compassion, safety, nourishment, and love." Excerpt-First, I Believe You

First, I Believe You is an astonishing memoir of resilience and recovery from trauma. Terrifying flashbacks haunted her for decades despite an "normal" childhood, resulting in severe depression, food addiction, anxiety, and nightmares. Delving into her deepest fears and traumas, refusing to give up, she pushed through every barrier with unflinching courage to a successful life. Don’t miss this compelling and gritty story of human strength and tenacity.
