Every 9 Minutes: A Memoir is a touching and heartbreaking book that grapples with themes of childhood abuse and trauma. This memoir follows the story of the author as she struggles with dysfunctional relationships while learning how to channel her pain to retake control of her life and emerge triumphant over even her darkest moments.
“If my words or story can show someone in crisis or need that there is light at the end of the tunnel, they can get past this, then sharing my story was something that I owed to myself, and unfortunately, to many others like me. Maybe together, we can make a difference.” — Christina Vitagliano
Here are five reasons readers will want to buy Every 9 Minutes and a great bookstore will want to stock the book:
In the U.S. alone, a sexual assault is reported every 73 seconds. Every 9 minutes, the victim is a child. It’s time to stop this epidemic! Break the silence. Save the child!
If you were appalled by If You Tell or Spilled Milk, you must read Every 9 Minutes!
Every parent or concerned adult should read this book if for no other reason than to learn how to spot the tell-tale signs of child abuse—and learn how to stop it.
While Every 9 Minutes is a chilling and heartbreaking story of the darkest realities of child abuse, it is also an inspiring story of perseverance and empowerment that should encourage more people to take control of their lives.
If you know of anyone who experienced childhood trauma or abuse, encourage them to read this brutally honest but redeeming memoir. Victims of abuse will find this memoir an incredible tool to work through their own experiences so they can heal.
“My heart aches for the little girl she was, and cheers for the woman she became. I couldn't put this book down.” — Tami Talbot
