Book excerpt: Natasha Prosperi confronted her past and tells it in this book. The journey that she made to the depths of herself, by the hand of Rob -her therapist-, to rescue herself from the abyss to which the sexual and psychological abuses endured during her childhood and adolescence sent her, represented a long and painful process from which she and her family left strengthened. The abuse does not only affect the victims in their development throughout their life but also those that surround them. Carrying out this process implies, as the author says, opening a Pandora's box from which the toughest memories will come out, but also the tools to prevent the effects of abuse from being transmitted from generation to generation.
