"A powerful memoir. It's incredibly emotive and evokes a strong sense of empathy from the reader. The honesty and personable approach, along with the elements of self help allows for the reader to connect to the narrative. The assured writing style and the honesty with which each segment is told make this story one that will resonate with those who may be facing similar struggles."

It’s not what you think!

Essentially it is an autobiography with a lot of self-development elements.

Telling his side of the story and setting the record straight, Filipe tells interesting and unexpected stories, exposing some of his deepest and darkest secrets as well as those of many others from his family and past circles.

The content of his work details a lot of mature subject matter including sextortion, molestation, abandonment, drugs and gangs, sodomy, gambling, cults and religious extremism as well as family betrayal and more.

He talks about narcissistic personality disorder, the over-rationalized cycles of abuse, how the abuse just worsens over time and how to take action to put an end to it in a positive way.

Filipe wants to use his experiences and his story to help anyone who might be going through similar trials in their life.

Everything is 100% true.
