challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

A reflective and important memoir that challenges people to radically move beyond hate. The emphasis on wonder and self-love in a world dominated by hatred is difficult to swallow at times, but is backed up by the author’s explanation that anger is a protector of love, and therefore is something to be understood (though perhaps not always allowed). In my own life, I will try to choose wonder and self-love.
