“I started reading this book today and once I started from the first few poems, I couldn't put it down until I finished! Ivy does such a great job telling her story in a way that is fascinating, easy to understand and follow, and relatable to readers like myself. It takes an emotional toll on me to finish reading it because you can see just how important it is to keep fighting especially when you feel like life is at it's worst. I loved reading this book and I'll definitely be reading it many more times ❤ Highly recommend it to anyone who encounters challenges in childhood and is affected by it in adulthood.”

“Wow. Just wow. Ivy has a way with words that speaks wonders with simple language. The first two sections were so raw and honest that I was almost moved to tears, but the last section switched to a message so inspiring that it made me understand that she has made the best out of her life. It’s so clear to me that Ivy is a strong woman who has overcome a lot and her amazing words speak to that.”

“This book resonated with me in a way I was not expecting. Although I faced quite a different past, the feeling of trauma was very much the same. It was extremely inspiring to see the way Ivy confronted her pain head on and poured it into this book to share with the world. I felt like I was finally in the mind of someone rising up from a dark past, which many authors don't always let you in to see. I would definitely recommend giving this a read.”

“Ivy bares her soul in her poetry, taking us on a journey through despair to hope. It rare for an author to vulnerably expose themselves allowing the reader to connect with them through the beauty of words. Unveiled encourages perseverance through whatever trials faced. Everyone needs this book in their lives.”

“If you've gone through any form of pain in your life, please read this book. I was brought to tears with how much I related to some of these poems. This book took me on a journey that ended with me being filled with hope for my own future. I thank Ivy for sharing her story for herself and allowing us readers to find ourselves between her beautiful words.”

“This really does feel like a poetic memoir! I appreciate the vulnerability and honesty in this collection. While I haven’t experienced many of the themes in this collection, Cirillo writes in a way that put me into their shoes. My favorite pieces were found toward the end of the collection. Poems about writing and positivity, such as “A Journey With Words” and “Dear Future Self” were my favorites.”
