You Are Radically Loved: A Healing Journey to
Self-Love is Rosie Acosta's story of
how she used her trauma as an opportunity for radical self-love.
This book offers hope, healing, and a new way of loving yourself
(even if you feel like you have nothing to give.) Rosie tells her
own story of shattering the cycle of abandonment, abuse and silence
she grew up in...and how her own healing journey led her to finding
peace, joy and freedom in herself, which she now wants to share
with you.
