This is a book I will be revisiting for the rest of my life. It's beautiful and inspiring, I'm not a motherhood person nor l but even I can get on board with her metaphor. I absolutely loved this. The content is broken up in a way to allow you to pieces the information slowly, which is great since some of it is really heavy and emotional and you need that time to breathe. I am inspired and able to accept that there is a lot I'm heading from as I continue working to fight for racial and social justice. That I don't have to be everything, but simply use the gifts I have to move forward. I needed this book. And I like many people need it too.

She talks as a survivor and someone who works with survivors to move in and through their grief. This is a very honest and difficult book but 100% worth it.
