“If Only My Eyes Could Speak” is an important book that entails the struggles of a young black girl growing up in a broken home. It is a book made to represent the mistreatment and misinterpretation of adolescents who are forced to grow up in toxic environments.

This book is only a taste of what Nicole has seen and experienced through her own eyes.

REVIEW

 A silver winner of the Global Ebook Awards and Winner of the Dan Poynter Legacy Award If Only My Eyes Could Speak is a gut-wrenching read. A short but powerful read this book speaks volumes.

Reading like we are peeking into a young girl’s journal Sadiee shares her personal poetry, and prose (letters) she wrote as a young girl going through physical and sexual abuse trying to make sense of it all.

 Her writings start at the age of 14 and go through to 17, and the words and things Sadiee writes should not be in the mind of a child so young.  Yet, her prominent piece “Letter To My Mother” written at the tender age of 14 explains it all.  

It took me a couple of days to recover after reading this book. Haunted by the eloquence of young Sadiee’s words you FEEL each syllable she writes, and the therapeutic release she feels as she writes them. 

A beautiful piece to show we can overcome. We can take the bad and make it good.

My overall rating is 5 stars and beyond.
