Such a great read! I felt I was sitting the couch and she was right there confiding in me. Such a courageous woman that claimed her life at a most pivotal chapter and reinvented herself through vision, intelligence, courage, and faith. This is not a book you will quickly put behind you, if at all. She has also taken responsibility across her sphere of influence to lift others and make the world a better place for children to live in. A total success story. A Pheonix Rising and we need more like her. Read the book, you will be charmed. Inspired. Included.

This incredibly tragic, but enduringly strong story touched my heart completely. As the author told her story in such a gifted way, I was able to see my own possible path to healing as well. Very well written and heartbreakingly real and raw. I am so proud of this woman who has truly done the hard work and is showing how God works ALL things out for good. She is now being used mightily and for such a time as this. Your story is giving me courage to face mine. Thank you...

It’s a deeply visceral and honest account of a woman’s struggle with mental illness and the modeling industry. Could be triggering so I’d warn anyone worried about that, but it’s an eye-opening read. I strongly recommend this book to anyone curious about the topic.

Nikki Dubose wrote this memoir with such integrity and heart. Her honesty is more than admirable and she opens a window to what it is like dealing with mental health issues. This memoir not only enlightens readers, but it serves as a beacon of hope for those who are struggling. Washed Away is a compelling read, and a true work of art. I hope everyone who reads walks away with a better understanding of eating disorders, mental, physical, and sexual abuse.

This book was one of the bravest honest books I have read in a long time. I read the entire book in two days while on vacation. Many people can be helped by this story of overcoming abuse and mental health issues in the modeling industry.
