PG-13
Yearning to be Free contains no graphic sexual content and little explicit language, but its emotional intensity, religious coercion, family volatility, therapy-centered trauma recovery, medical trauma, and references to self-mortification make it best suited for teen and adult readers. The Violence label reflects non-graphic emotional/familial violence and religious self-discipline; Drug/Alcohol reflects brief medication and alcohol references; Sensitive Topics reflects the memoir’s sustained treatment of trauma, despair, control, and recovery.
