Hello, welcome back.
I like this photo very much - at first it seems poignant but after thinking about it I remembered that there are days when I am alone and feel the need for company. On those days I make a nice meal for myself and place flowers and silverware on the table and deliberately enjoy my own company by treating myself as an special guest.
Blessings to you on your journey.

Hi, I have just finished reading your book and couldnt put it just to see how everything turned out in the end for you. You have turned a fantasic corner for your self. Although I have not suffered abuse like you I have suffered having to live with friends for a few weeks. Really I just wanted to say you are insperational on every level.
Hi Anya, i'm in South Africa and i've just finished reading your book. I also work with survivors of Domestic and/or sexual abuse at a one-stop centre for women and children in Cape Town. You are truly a survivor and an inspiration to everyone. If ever you are travelling to Cape Town, please do visit the Saartjie Baartman Centre, your story would motivate our shelter residents further to empower themselves. Well done Anya!
Wow! Reading your book now, almost finished. I'm sending you warm hugs from Ohio. You are an inspiration; I hope your story can give people hope who are living in impossible situations.
I fully intend to read your entire blog.
Anya - I have finished reading your amazing story - at the moment I do not have time to check out where you are at now - but may you experience inner peace and have been able to move forward with your life with positive outcomes.
With my very best wishes to you...
Elaine, Tasmania
I have just finished reading your book and you are truly an inspiration. This book really called out to me and affected me. Thank you for sharing your story, Anya. Keep your chin up, your an amazing person. Lucy xxx
Anya you have just helped change my life more than anyone in my world will know.Thankyou from the deepest corners of my heart
It was beatiful story but frustrating to read as I kept thinking she needs to go for help and stop the cycle. Now I understand and everything she says is true. I am not living in a car but I am isolating myself from everyone, there is no one close I can talk to, they are too judgemental and become emotional - no one understands. I am too proud to ask for help from friends, have always been the "strong" one. I am loosing myself in a spiral of negativity, so, so hard to climb out of this - pomegrante

hi my name is emma and i have just finished your book and am currently reading your blogg as to find out what your up to now and how you are doing? you are truley an inspirational person, and the strength you have shown over the years to get where you are and to never give up my thought are with you keep blogging x
Currently unemployed, I feel guilty browsing the aisles of the bookstore, knowing I should not purchase another book, fortunately my addiction to biographies are stronger then my pocketbook! The pink coat and pigtail braids on the cover below the word "abandoned" returned to mind and twisted at something in my stomach after reading the back of each other novel, and I'm so glad. I read this book in just a day and kept composed until the very end pages, until your suffering was replaced with hope. And now, I am relieved. Good for you Anya, for having the courage to share your heart and hardships!
Just finishd reading your book. I´m speachless. I´m waiting to read your next book. I have two kids (2 and 5) and your book goes straight to my heart. How can anyone survive what you have. You are an inspiration for soooo many people and i wish you find love and happyness. You should travell around the world and talk to every socialworker there is (anyone really that woorks with people).
I wish the best for you, no one decerves it more than you do.

Dear Anya,
I just finished reading your book and felt that I have to read your blog and see how you are doing now. I can't find the right words to describe what I feel right now, but your story really touch my heart. I have three children myself and if someone did this to my children I would .........
I hope and pray that you will find peace in your mind, heart and soul.
I wish you a lifetime of love and happiness. You are an inspiration to us all.

Hi, I'm A girl from Sweden, I just read your book. I'm really sorry about what happend to you but I'm glad you where able to get your life back, atleast a bit of it.
I hope you got the chance to talk to your mom and Kathy And I totaly get Why your mom is your mom and Kathy is just Kathy.
I'm adopted so my mom is my mom but she is not my birthmother. So I can relate a bit but not in anyway how your childhood was. But I hope you live a great life and don't let any one or anything put you down again, You're a stranght and a hope for other people in your situation. So I vish you all luck in the future and I hope everything works out.
Charliiie from sweden
Hello, I'm Regina, 16 years old, from Sweden. I've read your story (in Swedish of course), and at some times my eyes just flooded over with tears.
I don't want to say I've been through your life, I've never suffered abuse of some kind and I had a nice childhood. But, I can draw parallells with you and me.
I'm too proud to say I have no friends, I just keep up that charade. It's kind of my own fault it turned this way. I rejected them, just because I didn't want them to be too nice with me. I didn't want them to feel pity.
I'll change school soon. I hope things will be better for me, I don't want to be stuck as this! It's so tiring holding up a thin facade, all my energy is going to that! And I understand I look lonely; but I'm too proud.
All luck to you Anya, find a GOOD man and have a GREAT life with WONDERFUL children!
Hi, Anya
I am Adriana, a brazilian woman living in The Netherlands. As a mother and a human being, I could not imagine that there are people like your uncle sharing the same planet as us...
I've just finished reading you book. It's amazing the way you survive!
Just wondering...how is your life nowdays?
this the first time i will post a comment to you. i am so busy with my college life now and i haven't got the chance to open the net.the first time i read about you,that you live inside your car,i was curious that i keep reading it until i found out the cause why you are homeless that time,i was very amaze on how you survive it,and how the blog help you to open up again in the world,...
I read your book, and I cried and cried. I feel for you, even though it sometimes feel so horrible that it almost cant be true. But I believe you, I believe in you!
It took me six hours of reading to get through your book, and it was worth every second! I know I had to sleep, but I couldnt, I had to read more! I couldnt let it go! <3
Hi Anya, I just finished reading your book and am amazed by the human strength to survive and overcome and also dismayed by the depravity of our race. You're an inspiration to me to know that no matter how bad I may think my very good life is, it's really not. I hope to help those that are currently in the situation you were in - all that pain is so unnecessary - I can't understand how people can inflict that on one another. I wish you all the best in your new life.
hello,
i have just finished reading your book and have been very inspired by it. You are such an amazing person. i hope now that your life is full of love and happiness, because that is the least you desrve. i just wanted to send a HUGE hug from me, and wish you the best for the futcher
from becky xx :')
Hi Anya, i have just finished reading your book and i would just like to say its a phenomanal story of survival, courage and will....you are a true inspiration to many people out there in similar situations to yourself... I hope now you have a new life and yuou nare happy and fufilled and i hope you have put your awful past behind you.
I cried through most of your book as i felt so sorry for what you had to go through and the cheek of your family to let u endure such horror and humilation is beyond words, i hope your uncle rots in hell for his actions. I wish you all the love and happiness in the world xxx
I have just finished reading your book but let me say how hard it was to read for tears streaming down my face at the trauma you suffered at the hands of your uncle. "What a book", couldnt put it down when I was getting tired as I wanted to know what was happening next. Well done on getting your life back together. God bless you Anya xx
My name is Adreana, I'm from Australia. I just finished reading your book. I was totally captured by your story and it makes me wonder how many times I have passed or spoken to someone who might be in a similar situation to yours and not even known. I would love to think that we would just instinctively know when something isn't right and that we would know how to reach out and fix it. It's hard to accept that life is never so simple.
I would love to know where your at in your life now, I hope that your lack of blogging means you are so caught up in a life filled with love and happiness that you have no chance to record it here. Xxx
