Review:

"There are parts of this story I would have chosen, and there are parts that I wouldn't have. But they all belong to me now. And I don't regret any of my choices."

This is an empowering story, one that has me awestruck for several moments. Del Toro writes his story, and he claims it. Even when he spoke to his father shortly before he passed away, he took taking care of his family seriously. He did everything he could, and despite his efforts, he lost his mother while he was in his teens as well. He was fighting from the get-go, and he still worked hard for everything! 

In his military career in the beginning he sacrificed many things including time with his wife and child, he was at the point where his wife wanted him out of the military to be with them or she was done. Then, when his accident happened he was still taking charge and trying to get everyone the aid they needed. 

Soon he began his journey to healing, but it was not smooth sailing for him. His struggles and setbacks affected him like they did everyone else. His determination and love for his family and military family kept him going and striving for a better tomorrow! This is an inspiring empowering story for the masses that encourages you to keep taking that step towards a better tomorrow even when you feel like you can not keep going! This is a magnificent story of an outstanding man who encourages everyone to do better, to be better than we are, and to aid those we can even when we feel we have nothing to give.

My Review of Sex Cult Nun by Faith Jones

​ Title: Sex Cult Nun  Author: Faith Jones  Published: November 30, 2021  Published by: William Morrow Books  Genre: True Crime/Memior  Pages: 400  Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  Review:  I'm giving this book 5 stars. The reason for the five stars is the rawness and the transparency of this author that she went into the details that she knew would bother a lot of people, she went to the deepest and darkest times in her life and she put them on blast. She blasted her truth from the rooftops for not only herself but for everyone that is not able to share their truth.  This book has an abundance of disturbing and disgusting content and a lot of underage sexual abuse and rape. That is the part that is hard to read about, but her courage to share it and write it is very eye-opening. I did not agree with he whole sharing and polygamy but with each their own. I know I would not want to share my spouse with another person. The whole child abuse and sexual abuse...
