Enough is an ideal book for anyone who has ever felt crushed by the weight of the world, wondering if they have the strength to live again. Dealing with issues of mental health, trauma, class, race, identity, and motherhood, it takes a deep dive into the mind of an unhappy woman who is learning to find grace and peace within. Zachry doesn’t hold back, letting the reader into the darkest parts of her life with generosity and honesty. She chronicles her struggles, and it isn’t a journey for the weak of heart, as she lays bare the indignities she suffered as well as the effect they had upon her psyche. Zachry tells a heartfelt story of resilience, hope in the most harrowing of times, and what success in America means to her. The book deals with serious issues such as rape, suicidal behavior, and depression, among others. Some may feel triggered by the contents of this book, and should take that into consideration before reading. Spun through accessible prose that lays out her story in a non-linear but easy-to-follow fashion, Zachry reminds us that nothing is truly impossible, and that we are all stronger than we remember. This book is an unflinching and courageous memoir, and a worthy read for men and women alike. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

A bicultural child of a Malay mother and an Indian father, Amelia Zachry was different from the get-go, never quite fitting in. In this raw, inspiring memoir, she chronicles the long, winding journey that brought her from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Kentucky, USA--the place she and her family now call home. Amelia was nineteen years old, her future wide open, when a fellow student from her Kuala Lumpur university sexually assaulted her. After that night, she felt sullied--and convinced that what had happened was her fault. In the months and years that followed, she spiraled, first into isolation and then into promiscuity, as she attempted to try to take back some of the power that had been stripped from her that night. Eventually, she met the man who would become her husband and greatest advocate, Daniel, and began to emerge from that dark place--but even he couldn't fight her demons for her. In her late twenties, Amelia was diagnosed with PTSD and bipolar II disorder, both of which would go on to shape her adult life as an individual, a wife, and a mother. A memoir of trauma and healing, mental illness and resilience, culture shock and new beginnings, devastation and triumph, Enough is one woman's story of learning to make peace with the fact that things are as they should be, even if she sometimes wishes they were different--and of discovering that however far away it may seem, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel.
