This moving story of grit and resilience will resonate with readers long after the final page is turned. --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review In this compelling and unflinching memoir which switches between past and present, Harding... unravels the impact of this random act of violence and of her dysfunctional childhood. It's a tale of trauma and PTSD, but also of recovery through the healing power of restorative justice, and of enduring love. --Bookseller, Editor's Choice


This moving story of grit and resilience will resonate with readers long after the final page is turned. --Publishers Weekly, Starred Review Dancing with the Octopus is a brave and authentic picture of the tailwinds of trauma, the limits of human forgiveness and what it takes to maintain hope in a world bent on breaking us. Highly readable, and deeply moving. --Rachel Louise Snyder, award-winning author of NO VISIBLE BRUISES A gripping account of one woman's confrontation with the terror and heartbreak of her past. Harding combines true crime and family saga to illustrate the aftershocks of trauma, and the courage, tenderness, and humor that recovery requires. --Melissa Febos, author of ABANDON ME Debora Harding writes with a stunningly original mixture of insight, wit, and humanity about a life packed with so much drama, loss and resilience that you can't believe its not an epic work of fiction. --Kate Weinberg, author of THE TRUANTS In this compelling and unflinching memoir which switches between past and present, Harding... unravels the impact of this random act of violence and of her dysfunctional childhood. It's a tale of trauma and PTSD, but also of recovery through the healing power of restorative justice, and of enduring love. --Bookseller, Editor's Choice
