challenging dark emotional informative sad medium-paced

5.0

This was a heartbreaking, illuminating, and vulnerable piece of memoir. I am thankful to have read it. I feel like I saw myself in many of the people in it at times. It was heartbreaking and also illuminating about the importance of community for each of us to thrive.
