What People Are Saying
"Memoirs have always drawn me in, offering a window into someone’s lived experience. Recently, I picked up “ENDURE: To Suffer with Patience” by Dakotah Sanders, and from the very first page, I was engrossed. The narrative had a gripping quality, making it impossible for me to put the book down until I had devoured every last word."
"Reading this book gave me a deeper understanding of both its title and cover image.

It’s a heartbreaking yet inspiring story that highlights the impact of abuse on children. I believe this book holds a vital lesson for parents, offering insight into the devastating effects of toxic behavior and urging them to act with greater love and responsibility toward their children."
"The skill of the author had me holding his hand in each moment. The realism and the description of his response to events and thoughts were very relatable.
