"""Make a Home Out of You shines with honesty and introspection. Reading it feels like taking in the intimate diary of a friend as she grapples with body-shame, sexuality, and longings to feel safe and loved. At times heartbreaking, Testa's memoir is more a story about perseverance, resiliency, and the transformation of trauma's aftermath into something meaningful and brimming with hope."" --?August McLaughlin, author and podcast host of Girl Boner ""A raw and honest portrait of unhealed trauma and its ripple effect on a young life. With an intense yearning for things, people, and vices, the author earned a heap of battle scars on the journey to self-love and acceptance. This story reminds us that love starts at home, and that home resides within."" --?Suzanne Simonetti, USA Today best-selling author of The Sound of Wings ""Raw and uncompromisingly honest, Ginelle Testa's memoir takes readers on a whirlwind journey through her story of addiction, recovery, and the search for her soul. Like me, you'll cry at her failures and rejoice in her triumphs. I guarantee you won't be able to put down this beautifully crafted memoir."" --?Susen Edwards, author of What a Trip: A Novel ""Testa's intimate memoir is a harrowing and ultimately triumphant tale of her decades-long odyssey of self-destructive addiction. From the first page, as each painful episode of her obsessive compulsive behaviors plays out, we are hooked. With superhuman courage and conviction, Testa transcends a life of setbacks and despair to emerge as a powerful, purposeful woman. So many will be inspired by her brave story."" --?Shary Hauer, author of Insatiable: A Memoir of Love Addiction"
