With or Without You by Domenica Ruta
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Truly a damn fabulous book. I wasn’t sure what to expect initially, and Ms. Ruta had some interesting creds, and I wanted to try something different than my usual thriller fiction. I’m so glad I did. The dynamics of this mother-daughter relationship TRAGEDY, for lack of a better word, is unbelievably sad and inspiring at the same time. You’d expect the young Ms. Ruta to inevitably make quite a mess of her life, and she does . . . but the strength of this book is in the strength within Nikki Ruta. Never ONCE BLAMING anyone but herself for her past choices, she embraces a different future for herself, always on her own terms. I absolutely loved this book.
