🚀 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰:
Left, written by Bonnie Thompson, is a memoir of childhood survival. In it, the author recounts her early years and the challenges of growing up in a family that looked ordinary on the surface but was far from it. Her parents and sister formed her immediate family, yet even as a young child, Bonnie sensed that her father wished to live as a woman.

When her parents separated, neither Bonnie nor her sister received any explanation. On a shopping trip with her father, Bonnie noticed him drifting into a trance in the women’s department, especially when looking at lingerie and he even purchased it. Meanwhile, her sister Cheryl became pregnant at just sixteen and soon left home, leaving Bonnie alone with her mother. Reading the challenges faced by Bonnie felt like a rollercoaster ride.

The writing is vivid and immersive, making me feel as though I were walking beside the author through her memories. It is heartbreaking to witness a young girl forced to survive on her own resourcefulness. Bonnie’s mother seemed emotionally absent, and this memoir serves as a wake-up call to other mothers/parents to be more attentive to their children. I deeply appreciate Bonnie’s courage in sharing her story.
