“Reading Kimberly Shannon Murphy’s searing and vividly told memoir is like watching a gripping work…
Why read it?
1 author picked Glimmer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Kimberly Shannon Murphy’s story of unspeakable abuse by a trusted family member is as heartbreaking and harrowing as it is a testament to the importance of truth-telling. If only others had been as brave as Kimberly and spoken up, her abuse wouldn’t have happened.
I loved this story because no matter how hard life was, little Kimberly felt a “glimmer” deep in her soul—magic that promised she would live happily ever after. It’s a raw retelling, but I reminded myself that she lived it, so I owe it to her to read it.
She excavated these memories, bringing them out…
From Bridey's list on defeat our monsters and live happily ever after.
