"Reviewed By Lexie Fox for Readers' Favorite
…And Then I Would Fly is a memoir by Damien Thompson. The book details Damien’s childhood of abuse and neglect at the hands of his father in the wake of his parents' divorce. From his early years of looking up to his father to the dangerous and heartbreaking downward spiral that saw Damien manipulated into a weapon against his mother, to the adding of a little sister into an environment of carnage and substance abuse, this book chronicles a desperate journey toward hope in a childhood of trauma. Memoirs of abusive childhoods are a tough read for anyone, and there’s no doubt that Damien’s painfully vivid recollections of his youth will hit close to home for any fellow abuse survivors.
However, there is an optimism that acts as a lifeline throughout this work, with the core theme of someone whose unwillingness to give up hope for a better future is the force that helps them survive. There is a catharsis to the way Damien Thompson writes that leads me to hope that the book was a healing experience for him to write. I feel strongly that the compassion and insight with which he shares even the rawest of memories will provide a cathartic experience for others when reading. It is incredible to me that someone can take such painful experiences and turn them into prose that is beautiful to read. Throughout …And Then I Would Fly, I constantly found my breath being taken away. A difficult issue is discussed with grace, wisdom, and an eye for compelling storytelling. This is a book I recommend highly to all."
