Top Ten Books Dealing With Tough Subjects
(abuse, suicide, grief etc or something personal hard for you)
This is going to be a tough list because I personally don’t really like to read about tough subjects. I have my own issues to deal with, right, I don’t want to deal with someone else’s. I like to read fluff. So here is the very few books I could think of that might be appropriate for this list. They’re all memoirs.
The Little Prisoner
Details the horrific sexual abuse a little girl suffered from at the hands of her step father.
A Boy Called It
Details the horrific physical abuse a little boy suffered from at the hands of his mother.
Unbearable Lightness
Portia de Rossi’s blunt memoir about her anorexia.
In My Skin
Honest memoir written by an ex-prostitute drug addict about working in a brothel.
Unseen Unheard Unknown
Sarah Hamilton-Byrne was born into a cult called ‘The Family’ run by a psycopath and subject to horrible child abuse before escaping as a teenager.
