About this listen

A chilling and heartbreaking account of the darkest realities of childhood abuse.

With poignant prose and a deeply authentic personal story, this harrowing account exposes the stark and painful realities of childhood abuse, painting a heart-breaking picture of the lasting pain and fear that it inflicts on its victims.

Spanning 30 years, in this coming-of-age memoir, author Christina Vitagliano recounts in vivid detail the frightening nights spent when her father loomed in the doorway of her bedroom, along with the psychological toll that the relentless familial abuse took on her psyche. Told with honesty, openness, and incredible attention to detail, Every 9 Minutes is an eye-opening memoir that delves into the depths of abuse and reveals how one woman learned to retake control of her life and emerge victorious.

Contrasting the seemingly ordinary charm of typical childhood memories with the proverbial monster lurking just beneath the surface, this deeply moving account dispels the darkness around abuse and lays the horrors bare for all to see, showing that even the most normal-looking family could have secrets hiding in the shadows.

Despite dysfunctional relationships and the soul-crushing torment of sexual exploitation, Every 9 Minutes is a testament to the power of perseverance, showing how Christina emerged from her pain and trauma to build a life of purpose and happiness. With an empowering call to action, she encourages other sufferers of childhood abuse to step forward and take control of their lives, channeling their pain into motivation and refusing to let their trauma define them.

An emotional roller coaster worth the ride

An incredible memoir about the strength and resilience of an amazing woman. I’ve read the book but I wanted to support the audiobook as well. The audiobook is almost more impactful due to the female narration which provides more emotion then anyone’s internal voice. This story gives the listener a lot to chew on and reminds all of us that we need to protect our most vulnerable in society, along with being open to listening to others’ struggles.

Great story telling!

I thoroughly enjoyed the narration and the story was very touching and deep. She goes into detail without going to deep. Thank you for sharing!

Strength & Perseverance

The amazing strength and conviction shown in this story, really blows you away. I did, consider returning the book in the beginning because I found the narrator voice and the way in which she read it annoying. I'm glad I didn't.

Inner strength!

Christine had such inner strength. A great story of her survival of such horrid circumstances. Yet, she came out the other side with such wisdom, courage and determination. As well as humor. A must listen too!

Well written

This book was very well written and the narration was excellent! It was difficult as a Mother to listen to this book and not hate Christina's mother! She had to know all those years. I give the author a lot of credit for coming forward and telling her story. I would love a second book to hear about Christina's life after her first 30 years.

Excellent true story. Too many “F” words

I loved the story and it had me hanging every second. I couldn’t wait to find out how her father got caught or what happened. The only complaint was the “F” word too often. A few “F***” words made sense in relation to the story, but I would have enjoyed the story more if I wasn’t being slapped with the “F” so often. I would be more likely to tell my friends about the story if it didn’t use that word so often. The same meaning could’ve been portrayed without it, and to me the impact would’ve been less distracting, since I usually turn off anything that drops the bomb once.
