This story has really struck a chord with me ever since it came out. I just keep coming back to read through it  again and again, it gives me some much needed hope for dealing with my own trauma (nothing so grievous as what the MC goes through but trauma nonetheless) the path of healing the MC is being set on is just so very inspiring to me, a reminder that no matter how broken you are that there is always a chance to heal and move on to something better in your life.
