Reviews for ‘Forgetting to be Invisible: A Memoir’ by Claire Strofield

  • "In this raw recounting of a painful childhood, Claire Strofield will break your heart with this tender story of vulnerability and resilience. Her unflinching prose is beautiful and clear, elegantly poetic, and lays bare the scars of haunting trauma — alongside the quiet strength forged in its wake."

    Len Fogge, Former President of Creative Marketing for NBC

  • "A magnificent and poignant masterpiece -- heartbreaking, yet imbued with hope for resilience and triumph."

    Dr Gita Zarnegar, Co-Founder at the Center for Authenticity

  • “As I read Claire Strofield’s ‘Forgetting to be Invisible,’ I couldn’t shake the feeling I was following Alice in Wonderland or Dorothy in the Land of Oz. A fragile young girl, tossed about like a piece in someone else’s game, doing everything she could to stay alive and find her way home. And the most disturbing thing is that the crazy, messed-up world she was trying to escape was home–a world created by two parents whose hatred for one another undermined their children's emotional and physical well-being. This is a heartbreaking story, one of loss and disappointment all along the way, where every dream and every person a girl loves dies. In the end, she makes a heart-wrenching decision that no child should ever have to make. And yet, this is a story of hope and healing. You know Claire found a way out, and she shows you how.”

    Steve Crowe, author of ‘Slow Hiking the Appalachian Trail’

“The narrator's journey is remarkable on so many levels. The level of trauma is almost beyond belief. The setting is one-of-a-kind. The characters are truly unique and feel like they could be real people. Overall, the story is a heartbreaking and, on another level, breathtaking story of survival.”
