You Loved Me At My Weakest by Evie Harper was one of the most poignant, beautiful, heartfelt and gripping books that I have read. Ms. Harper takes her readers on an emotional and yet powerful story that will touch her readers to the core. Hearts will break. Tears will be shed. And love will heal. In this gripping tale of survival, You Loved Me At My Weakest will showcase that its okay to get help. There is no shame in admitting for help. Fear does not make you weak but admitting your fears is what makes you stronger. In our times of struggle, darkness, fears, and demons have a way to cloud and creep into our lives but with the help of family and friends, light can its find its way through the darkness. And with the power of love it can overcome anything and heal the cracks of our hearts. And in our weakest moment we will find our voice and strength.
You Loved Me At My Weakest picks off where it last left off in You Loved Me At My Darkest and chronicles the story of Emmy and Kanye. In the first book, we learned of Emmy’s rescue from the human sex trafficking ring and is reunited with her love, Kanye. But adjusting to this new life of freedom after 5 years of captivity takes a toll on Emmy. How do you adjust to life when for 5 years you lived in the darkness? Raped countless amount of times? Have been physically and emotionally abused? And what happens when hurtful words such as whore, loser, and weak from the monsters are ingrained in your mind? So in Emmy’s case, it is truly heartbreaking and shattering to see a young woman slowly fading and dying from her fears. So how do you move on when you don’t know where to start? And how do you live in peace knowing one of the monsters you feared is still lurking around?
There was only one woman Kanye loved and Emmy was his. For five years, he never gave up hope and was searching for Emmy non-stop. He would go to Hell and back if it means to be reunited with her. For him, Emmy was the one. His life revolved around her. So when he was finally reunited with his love, Kanye made it known to Emmy that he will be there for her. Her burdens are his burdens. Her tears are his. Her pain are his pain. He understood why Emmy wanted to push him away, but he made it clear from the first day that she was rescued that he will be there for her. No matter what, Emmy was his and he knew from the depths of his heart and soul that she felt the same way about him. Slowly, Kanye was able to fix the cracks of Emmy’s heart with his endless love and devotion. Can love heal? And the answer is YES!!! Kanye brought life and light back into Emmy’s dark world.
The journey of Kanye and Emmy’s love has no words. It’s one of those rare love you can only hope to find. A love that has no bounds. A love that is light. A love that brings hope. A love that breathes life. A love that is strong. A love that you will fight for. A love that heals. And most importantly a love that cannot be extinguished. And Kanye and Emmy clearly showed that their love was timeless. It was a love of survival. A love that will make you believe.
