Hello beautiful people. 

I am giving away a free book. It’s called Yakuza moon: Memoirs of a gangster’s daughter. 

Her child hood bullying, drug use during her teen years, and horrible relationships with men in the past serve as a warning that just because a life style may appear to be glamorous does not mean that it is.
This was a really interesting read. Tendo takes you through her horrible experiences beautifully. Her descriptions are so vivid that I found myself on the verge of tears at times when reading this. As the reader, you really want her to be okay, after tragedy upon tragedy. You really get sucked into her life, which to me was an experience I had never even read of before this. I would absolutely recommend this book - you’ll learn about an incredibly strong woman that overcame extreme hardship in her life as a Yakuza’s daughter.

The book is also evidence of how most people’s greatest strengths are invisible to them, because they embody them naturally and don’t seek them out. She may not have felt strong, but she was. This book is pretty much awesome. 

“The world is full of people struggling to survive and overcome - striving to be the person that they always dreamed that they could be, that they hoped deep down was still inside and had not been killed off by their mistakes. Sometimes the hardest thing to overcome is yourself, the person in the mirror can be your own worst enemy and learning to put the past behind you the hardest lesson to learn in life. ”
