Samenvatting:

She was supposed to have it all figured out by thirty-five.

Instead, she has a suitcase packed in the dark, a bruise she photographed as evidence, and exactly three dollars in her purse.

Everything They Left Me is the diary of a woman who did everything right — top of her class, university degree, fluent in English, full of ambition — and watched it count for nothing. When a pandemic traps her inside a home where her own family poisons her food, destroys her belongings, and calls the police to protect them from her, she must make an impossible choice: endure, or escape into a world that has no place waiting for her.

Raw, precise, and devastating in its honesty, this is a story about what happens when every system designed to protect a woman — family, law, medicine, society — fails her simultaneously. And what she does anyway.

For readers of Educated and The Glass Castle — but angrier, and closer to home.
