Just a Slap provides a courageous voice, advocating for those who cannot.
When we are children, we travel through life without the benefit of maturity in a physical or emotional sense. All of our experiences, good and bad, shape the person we are to become. In the case of Kathleen Howard, childhood trauma left her damaged. “I was too little to understand, but my world cracked open, and I fell out.” This honest assessment and understanding doesn’t come early in this memoir, nor does it come early in Kathleen’s life. Enduring a myriad of health problems, Kathleen details her lifelong journey to heal her body from the inside out.
We are so vulnerable and impressionable when we are young. For Kathleen, an obvious empath, emotional scars burrowed deep into her being. Her suppressed anger mingles with a desire to please and to be loved. The thoroughly candid result surfaces on the pages of Just a Slap. The editing is flawless and the cover is astoundingly touching and beautiful, although you’ll have to read the book to find out why.
Kathleen Howard tells her truth with sincerity and grace. Just a Slap provides a courageous voice, advocating for those who cannot.
