Reviews
" "Glittering Trauma" is a part of an autobiographical analysis its author gives her life, and the life of her child. She is candid and speaks directly and fully about the ups and downs her life has weathered, and she worries about how her child will fare as the vicissitudes of life confront him.
The author's uses 'glitter,' the little specks for decoration, as something that once spilled can never be completed picked up, and continues to mar one's life for its entirety"- Frank Malley, FanStory Member

The writing style is clear, concise, and easy to follow, making the reader feel like they are sharing in your journey. The voice is strong, and your experiences are told with honesty and vulnerability.

"This is a sad and interesting story of your childhood. People seem to think that we don't remember things when we're that young, but we do. I do. You have obviously done a lot of self work to have arrived where you are now. Still, it takes courage to put it out there. I applaud you"- Mary Shifman, FanStory Member.
