Something that I really appreciated about this book is that Knott recognizes and acknowledges that life is not a straight line - it's more of a spiral, and her story feels that way. I thought this might be a memoir of a woman discovering herself and her power, and while that was part of it, it's clear that Knott knows she is still learning and growing and is still on her journey towards becoming a matriarch. I think too often these kinds of memoirs focus on people getting their lives together and solving their problems and I'm left wondering why my life doesn't feel like that. Knott is honest about her journey and about feeling lost and I really appreciated her honesty and vulnerability.
