6. A friend recommended it to me...
It's also an inspiration for one of the three books I am writing.

Though my autobiography will be a bit more in-depth... As much a learning guide as it is a sob story. Things to do and not to do so they don't end up emotionally crippled or worse; because it's NOT easy to overcome some things and end up acting as if nothing ever happened. (And I'd even show incidents where I was at fault. See, I don't want my book to have people accusing me I made everything up... (some of the negative comments on amazon were rather interesting; some of which would hold some weight too.))
